According to sources, the National and Constituency leadership of NPP fear John Dumelo will be a big threat to the party in the Ayawaso West Wuogon Constituency should he win the NDC Primaries.
The sources disclosed to Awake News that since the actor’s declaration to contest in the constituency, the NPP has conducted a quick survey which puts the NDC’s John Dumelo ahead of the incumbent MP, Madam Lydia Alhassan who has secured the lowest vote in the history of Ghana to enter into the parliament.
With this relation, the NPP is of the strong view that best way to secure the seat is to financially support John Dumelo’s contender who they said: “is a fairly new face in the Ayawaso West Wougon” hence given her a weaker ground in 2020.
The party has through a top woman who is government appointee at the Presidency (name withheld) together with the Constituency leadership are tasked to make every needed effort to get the agenda hashed.
