Africa-Press – Ghana. <\/strong><\/span>Actor and politician, John Dumelo is optimistic of capturing power in the upcoming 2024 parliamentary elections.<\/b><\/p>\n

Dumelo will once again compete with the current MP for Ayawaso West Wuogon, Lydia Seyram Alhassan on the ticket of the NDC after he lost the 2020 elections.<\/p>\n

In a Question-and-Answer session on X, the actor when asked about how he intends to win this year\u2019s elections said he will capitalize on her opponent\u2019s weakness to secure victory in the elections.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t get nervous. I\u2019ve learnt from my mistakes in 2020 and I\u2019m using her weakness as my strength to win this election. Her weakness is she has more resources than I have,\u201d Dumelo replied.<\/p>\n

In another tweet questioning the businessman on why he wants to occupy the MP office, Dumelo said being in such a position will enable him \u201cto be part of the decision-making processes that will affect our lives positively as Ghanaians.\u201d<\/p>\n

John Dumelo after losing in 2020 elections demanded a vote recount by the Electoral Commission.<\/p>\n

Lydia Alhassan garnered 39,851 votes while Dumelo had 37,778 votes.<\/p>\n

\u201cThank you God for an answered prayer. Thank you Ayawaso West Wuogon for this Victory. I take my scripture from Proverbs 21:31,\u201d Lydia posted in a tweet after declaration of the results.<\/p>\n
