“Calling on all party members, supporters, constituents, and the wider public to rally behind Mr. John Dumelo and fervently support his campaign. Together, let us strive for the common objective of securing victory for the NDC in Ayawaso West Wuogon, while collectively shaping the Ghana of our aspirations,” the message encouraged. “Our gratitude goes out to the party leadership for facilitating this consensus.”
This development followed fellow aspirant Fred Nuamah’s concession to Dumelo, a significant step that the party described as a “noteworthy progression in our parliamentary candidate selection process for the 2024 general elections.”
