     Ghana Election:  Actor John Dumelo Wins Ayawaso West Constituency

    Published on

    Alhassan received 27,377 votes from the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), while Dumelo received 40,561 votes from the National Democratic Congress (NDC).

    The Saturday, December 7, 2024, parliamentary election is a significant political turning point for Dumelo, who ran for the same seat in 2020 but lost to Alhassan by a slim margin.

    Dumelo began his acting career in 1991 while still a student and has since gained notoriety in the Ghanaian (Gollywood) and Nigerian (Nollywood) film industries.

    Peter Obi, the former Labour Party presidential candidate, has congratulated John Mahama, the president-elect of Ghana, on his election victory on Saturday.

    According to Naija News, Peter Obi called Saturday’s election in Ghana a democratic triumph.

    He praised the political players in Ghana for their maturity and adherence to democratic principles throughout the election.

    The former governor of Anambra State urged Mahama to start making revolutionary strides in the vital field that would support the nation’s growth in a statement released on Sunday.

    “Your Excellency, Mr. John Mahama, the incoming president.

    “I want to congratulate you on winning the election to be the president of the Republic of Ghana.

    “The democratic virtues and political maturity that our dear continent sorely needs are exemplified by your win. It emphasizes Ghana’s illustrious history of upholding peaceful transitions and the democratic process.

    “May your presidency be characterized by groundbreaking successes in the vital fields of health, education, and development, lifting Ghanaians out of poverty and spurring advancement and unity across Africa,” Obi said.”
