FOREIGN POLITICS: JOHN DUMELO WINS PARLIAMENTARY SEAT IN GHANA
John Dumelo, a well-known actor from Ghana, has been elected to the parliamentary seat for Ayawaso West Wuogon.
The incumbent Lydia Alhassan of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) lost to Dumelo, who ran on the National Democratic Congress (NDC) ticket.
Dumelo lost the 2020 election by a slim margin, despite his efforts to capture this constituency since 2018. This time, though, the actor-turned-farmer prevailed by a significant margin with 40,561, as opposed to 27,377 for his nearest competitor, Alhassan.
Speaking after he was declared winner, he said, “This victory is not just for me, but for the people of Ayawaso West. I am committed to ensuring that we build a stronger, more prosperous community together.
“This is a valuable lesson for everyone. It’s not about money; it’s about the development of the people and addressing their needs.”
Dumelo has featured in numerous films and is a well-known figure in both Nollywood and Ghallywood, including 4Play, 40 Looks Good on You, A Northern Affair, Adams Apples, A Private Storm, A Night with Her, After the Wedding, Black Men Rock, Blackmoney, and Beautiful Ruins, among others.
