I will rise above politics – John Dumelo promises
AFTER a resounding win in the NDC's primaries for the Ayawaso West Wuogon last Saturday, August 24, actor John Dumelo has vowed to rise above politics.
According to him he will not allow anything come between him and the reason why the people voted for him.
In an Instagram post after the win, John Dumelo thanked all his followers and party elders for the love and support and acknowledging the role family and friends also played in his journey.
His post read, “I am extremely grateful to Almighty God, my family, friends,loyal delegates and supporters who contributed their time and effort to my campaign.
"I want to thank my great party the NDC and the elders for this opportunity. I am deeply moved by the expression of confidence from delegates,people of Ayawaso West Wuogon.
"I cannot do this job without the involvement and openness of the people I represent. You have taken the time to share with me your ideas, your concerns, and I sincerely appreciate your willingness to discuss what really matters to you.
"Not only have you entrusted me with the responsibility of speaking on your behalf as your parliamentary candidate but you also continue to provide me with the ideas and feedback I need to make this constituency great.
"For that, I thank you once again. We will rise above politics to do what is best for this constituency and the nation as a whole.
Mr Dumelo, who has campaigned for the NDC over the years, polled a massive 758 votes to beat Madam Suzzy Afua Adoboe who could only garner 99 votes.
The actor now has the mandate to represent NDC in Ayawaso West Wuogon in the 2020 elections.
