This is not the first time the actor contested for the constituency seat. Dumelo first contested in 2020 where he narrowly lost ti Alhassan.
Dumelo expressed his heartfelt gratitude to the voters and pledged to work tirelessly to deliver on his campaign promises.
He said, “The people of Ghana have been calling for change, and they’ve shown that if you don’t perform well or if you’re arrogant, they will vote you out.”
“Let this not get to our heads; this is a valuable lesson for everyone. It’s not about money; it’s about the development of the people and addressing their needs.”
“We will do our best over the next four years to bring meaningful change to Ghana and steer it in the right direction.”
