Actor, politician and entrepreneur, Mr John Dumelo has expressed optimism about winning the Ayawaso West Wuogon Parliament seat in the Greater Accra region in the 2024 general elections.
He said he managed to narrow the gap in the 2020 elections hence it is his time to take the seat in 2024.
In the 2020 elections, the incumbent MP for the area, Lydia Seyram Alhassan defeated John Dumelo to retain her seat in Parliament.
According to the Electoral Commission (EC), Madam Alhassan, who contested the parliamentary seat on the ticket of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) won with 39,851 votes.
John Dumelo polled 37,778 votes.
He tweeted that “Thank you all for the congratulatory messages. 2024 is a must win in Ayawaso West Wuogon. As parliamentary candidate in 2020, we closed the gap from 10,000 to under 1,900 through hard work. It’s time to take the seat. Let’s all get involved.”
