The St. Mary’s Seminary Senior High School Old Students’ Association (SMOBA), has congratulated Mr John Peter Amewu for his election as a Member of Parliament for the Hohoe Constituency, and subsequent appointment as the Minister designate for the Ministry of Railway Development.
In a press statement dated January 24, 2021, signed and issued by the President SMOBA, Mr. James Kwasi Oberko, the association said, Mr Amewu’s history making win in the Hohoe Constituency is highly commendable.
Mr Amewu won the Hohoe seat for the New Patriotic Party (NPP) for the first time in the December 7, 2020 general elections.
Supreme Court to hear Amewu swearing-in case Monday The apex court took this decision on Wednesday, December 30. The Attorney-General (AG) had dragged the Ho High Court to the Supreme Court for granting an injunction against the swearing-in of John Peter Amewu as the Member of Parliament for the Hohoe Constituency. The AG wants the Supreme Court to quash the High Court’s order of injunction and also stop it from hearing the substantive matter brought against Mr. Amewu and the Electoral Commission for lack of jurisdiction. The AG argues, in a suit, that the ruling from the Ho High Court “constituted a patent error” since it did not have the capacity to hear the matter.
