Ghanaian actor and politician John Dumelo has defied the odds to win the Ayawaso West
Wuogon parliamentary seat in the 2024 general elections.
Running on the ticket of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Dumelo’s victory marks a triumphant return after narrowly losing the same seat in 2020 to Lydia Alhassan of the New Patriotic Party (NPP).
In the 2020 elections, Dumelo’s loss was a heartbreaking moment for his supporters, as he fell short despite a spirited campaign.
However, he used the defeat as a stepping stone, re-strategizing and building stronger connections with the constituency over the next four years.
His relentless grassroots efforts, coupled with a focus on addressing pressing community needs, paid off in the 2024 elections.
His approachable demeanour, combined with his background as an actor and entrepreneur, allowed him to connect with voters across all demographics.
He also championed innovative projects, such as advocating for small-scale agricultural initiatives to support local farmers and reduce unemployment.
Most Ghanaian celebrities and fans have praised Dumelo’s resilience and ability to turn setbacks into success.
His win has energized the NDC and set an example for young politicians across the country.
As he prepares to serve in parliament, Ghanaians are eager to see how John Dumelo translates his promises into tangible change for his constituents.
With this victory, Dumelo has not only made history but has also solidified his reputation as a force to reckon with in Ghanaian politics.
