John Dumelo
The Parliamentary Candidate elect for Ayawaso West Wuogon Constituency, John Dumelo has expressed gratitude for the overwhelming confident delegates reposed in him.
Ghana’s sensational actor and entrepreneur has secured 758 votes representing over 88% of the total votes cast at the Saturday polls whiles his only contender, Suzzy Adorboe pulled 99 votes.
Mr. Dumelo in his thank you message sighted by Awake News said: “I cannot do this job without the involvement and openness of the people I represent.”
“You have taken the time to share with me your ideas, your concerns, and I sincerely appreciate your willingness to discuss what really matters to you. Not only have you entrusted me with the responsibility of speaking on your behalf as your parliamentary candidate but you also continue to provide me with the ideas and feedback I need to make this constituency great.” – He added
Ayawaso West Wuogon seat has long been in the hands of the ruling New Patriotic Party. The incumbent MP for the Constituency, Madam Lydia Alhassan retained the seat for the NPP in a by-election on January 31, 2019 following the sudden demise of her husband, the then NPP MP, Emmanuel Kyeremanteng Agyarko.
The by-election was characterised by violence and seen as the most unpeaceful election and low voting turn out ever recorded in the history of the country.

I am extremely grateful to Almighty God, my family, friends, loyal delegates and supporters who contributed their time and effort to my campaign.
I want to thank my great party the NDC and the elders for this opportunity.
I am deeply moved by the expression of confidence from delegates, people of Ayawaso West Wuogon.
I cannot do this job without the involvement and openness of the people I represent. You have taken the time to share with me your ideas, your concerns, and I sincerely appreciate your willingness to discuss what really matters to you. Not only have you entrusted me with the responsibility of speaking on your behalf as your parliamentary candidate but you also continue to provide me with the ideas and feedback I need to make this constituency great.
For that, I thank you once again. We will rise above politics to do what is best for this constituency and the nation as a whole.
Thank you. It’s time for Ayawaso West!
