The Court of Appeal sitting in Koforidua has granted an interlocutory injunction brought by Professor Margaret Kweku and others from the SALL traditional areas to restrain John Peter Amewu, former Member of Parliament for Hohoe.

The court restrained Mr Amewu from holding himself out as a former Member of Parliament (MP) for Hohoe Constituency in the 8th Parliament of the Fourth Republic.

The Court also restrained the Speaker of Parliament from processing or paying any entitlements to Mr Amewu as the former MP, pending the hearing and determination of the appeal.

The Ho High Court presided over by Justice Owoahene Acheampong on July 29, 2024, dismissed the election petition against the election of Mr Amewu on the basis that the High Court lacked jurisdiction.
