Member of Parliament for Ayawaso West Wuogon, John Dumelo, has expressed confidence in retaining his parliamentary seat despite renewed competition from the New Patriotic Party (NPP) ahead of the next election.
Speaking on the political developments in his constituency, the actor-turned-politician stated that democracy gives every qualified individual the right to contest for public office, and he respects anyone who decides to challenge him.
According to Dumelo, although he understands the NPP’s determination to reclaim the seat, his priority remains delivering on the promises he made to the people of Ayawaso West Wuogon.
“Everyone has the right to contest in a democracy,” he said, adding that his attention is focused on serving his constituents rather than being distracted by political rivalry.
The first-term MP noted that he remains committed to initiating development projects and addressing the needs of residents, expressing confidence that his work will speak for itself when the time comes for voters to make their decision.
John Dumelo won the Ayawaso West Wuogon parliamentary seat on the ticket of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and has since pledged to continue working to improve the lives of people in the constituency.
