The Volta Regional Chairman of the NPP, Makafui Woanyah said the government has done alot since it took office in 2017. He therefore tasked the party structures, particularly at the polling station and constituency level to hit the ground running by reaching every household in the region to tell them about the good works of the Akufo-Addo government and expose the lies of the opposition.
He described Mr. Amewu as a valuable asset who has proven beyond reasonable doubt; nationally, regionally and at the Constituency level that he deserves to be in parliament to bring development to the people of the Hohoe constituency.
Mr. Amewu will be contesting Prof. Margaret Kweku of the NDC whom, just like Amewu have once served as Municipal Chief Executive of Hohoe.
