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.
