Dumelo expressed his heartfelt gratitude to the voters and pledged to work tirelessly to deliver on his campaign promises.

“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.”
