UG student raise GH¢5,000 for francis ayenu, citing confidence in his bid to challenge Dumelo

According to report by Ghonetv on Thursday 12, 2026, a group of students from the University of Ghana (UG) has reportedly raised an amount of GH¢5,000 in support of Francis Ayenu Esq., expressing confidence in his ability to challenge incumbent Member of Parliament John Dumelo for the Ayawaso West Wuogon parliamentary seat.

The students’ financial contribution is seen as an indication of their growing support for Ayenu and his political ambitions ahead of the next parliamentary elections. Their decision to contribute towards his political journey also reflects their belief that he has the capacity to present a strong challenge in the constituency.

According to the information surrounding the fundraising initiative, the students believe Francis Ayenu possesses the qualities and potential needed to compete effectively for the parliamentary seat currently occupied by John Dumelo.

The GH¢5,000 contribution is expected to serve as a show of encouragement for the lawyer as he continues to pursue his political aspirations. It also highlights the role young people, particularly students, can play in supporting individuals they believe can bring meaningful representation and development to their communities.

Ayawaso West Wuogon remains an important constituency in Ghana’s political landscape, attracting considerable attention because of its strategic location and political significance.

John Dumelo, who currently represents the constituency in Parliament, will potentially face competition from Ayenu if the latter formally enters the race.

The students’ show of support has added another dimension to the emerging political conversation surrounding the constituency, with attention likely to focus on Ayenu’s next steps and his ability to translate the expressed confidence into broader electoral support.

As political activities gradually gather momentum, the prospect of a contest between Francis Ayenu and John Dumelo could become one of the issues attracting interest among residents and political observers in Ayawaso West Wuogon.
