Actor and politician, John Dumelo is optimistic of capturing power in the upcoming 2024 parliamentary elections.
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.
In a Question-and-Answer session on X, the actor when asked about how he intends to win this year’s elections said he will capitalize on her opponent’s weakness to secure victory in the elections.
“I don’t get nervous. I’ve learnt from my mistakes in 2020 and I’m using her weakness as my strength to win this election. Her weakness is she has more resources than I have,” Dumelo replied.
