John Dumelo’s second attempt and Fred Nuamah’s first bold attempt

For John Dumelo, this is not his first time in the contest.

In the 2020 elections, he ran for the constituency seat on the ticket of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) but lost to the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) Lydia Seyram Alhassan during the general election.

Lydia Seyram Alhassan won with 39,851 out of 77,604 total votes while John Dumelo of the NDC had 37,778.

John, who gave Lydia a run for her money during the 2020 elections was actively involved in party politics as he was seen seriously campaigning on various fronts to win the position.

Fred Nuamah on the other hand is making his debut in the same constituency.

When he announced his intention to run for the NDC parliamentary primaries in the Ayawaso West Wuogon Constituency, a lot of people wondered what had become of John Dumelo’s political ambition for the area.
