The National Democratic Congress (NDC) parliamentary candidate for Ayawaso West Wuogon, John Dumelo, has addressed a video circulating on social media that depicts a confrontation between him and supporters of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) at the ongoing limited registration center at the University of Ghana, Legon.<\/p>\n

The incident, which occurred on May 27, 2024,started with Dumelo engaging peacefully with registrants at the center.<\/p>\n

However, he claims some NPP members attempted to interfere with his interactions, leading to disrespectful behavior towards him.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The video has sparked significant attention and necessitated a response from Dumelo\u2019s campaign team to clarify the situation.<\/p>\n

Dumelo\u2019s campaign team alleged that these interruptions are part of a deliberate strategy by the incumbent Member of Parliament, Lydia Alhassan, and her supporters, who feel threatened by Dumelo\u2019s popularity and engagement with voters.<\/p>\n

They alleged that Lydia Alhassan had instructed her supporters to attack Dumelo on several occasions during the registration exercise.<\/p>\n

The statement further referenced the violent incidents during the 2019 Ayawaso West Wuogon by-election, which were instigated on behalf of Lydia Alhassan, noting that despite efforts to defuse the situation, the attacks on Dumelo have continued.<\/p>\n

In response, John Dumelo has sent a resounding warning to Lydia Alhassan and her team to conduct themselves appropriately or face similar actions from his supporters.<\/p>\n

They expressed a strong stance against the continuation of violence and intimidation tactics leading up to the 2024 general election and vowed to defend themselves to protect the democratic process.<\/p>\n

John Dumelo, however, reassured the public that he would never undermine the integrity of the registration exercise.<\/p>\n

He urged the public and NDC members to disregard the false propaganda being spread by the NPP and Lydia Alhassan.<\/p>\n
