Peter Amewu Sets Record In Hohoe With 26,952 Votes

Minister of Energy Peter Amewu has been elected as the MP for the Hohoe Constituency in the Volta Region. The New Patriotic Party NPP Parliamentary Candidate polled a total of 26,952 votes to beat NDC counterpart, Professor Margaret Kweku who polled 21,821 votes. Convention People’s Party CPP candidate William Oyie

polled 40 votes to come a distant third. Mr Amewu’s win makes him the first candidate of the NPP to win a seat in the Volta Region which is considered a stronghold of the NDC. He served as the Volta Regional Chairman for the NPP before becoming the Minister for the Lands and Natural Resources when Nana Akufo Addo became president. His hardwork saw him replace then Energy Minister Boakye Agyarko after he resigned.
