Ho High Court has dismissed a petition challenging the validity of the election of John Peter Amewu Member of Parliament for Hohoe, on grounds of lack of jurisdiction.
About 17,000 voters from the Santrofi, Akpafu, Likpe and Lolobi (SALL) enclave, made up of 13 communities, did not participate in the 2020 parliamentary elections and have been left without representation in the 8th parliament due to the carving out of the Oti Region from the Volta Region.
Some five residents from SALL petitioned the High Court in Ho to nullify the parliamentary election that saw John-Peter Amewu become MP.
After making a late entry into the hearing of the petition, John-Peter Amewu at the last hearing introduced three new issues to the case, which the NDC in the region says was a ploy to delay the case.
