John Dumelo has finally conceded after pleading with the electoral commission to recount votes in his constituency.
In a Facebook post, he thanked all that voted for him as well as his team. Adding that he may have lost this election, but he will come back stronger in 2024.
John however said, he ’may not be satisfied with the final results or the irregularities that occurred, but before everything, I’m a Ghanaian and I will always put the people first.’
Check out the post below;
“In 2004, I stood for KNUST Queen’s hall Secretary, I lost. In 2005 I stood for KNUST Organizing Secretary, Civil Engineering Students Association, I won.
In 2019 I stood for the NDC parliamentary primaries, I won. On the 7th of December 2020 I stood for MP at Ayawaso West Wuogon constituency, I lost.
Truth is, every time I lose, I come back stronger because I don’t see it as a loss, I see it as a journey to perfection. It is only when you are down that you appreciate what it takes to get back up.
So I want to thank the over 37,000 people who voted for me in Ayawaso West Wuogon. From the bottom of my heart, I really appreciate you all. To those that didn’t vote for me, I hope that in the future I can work and prove to you that I’m worthy of your vote.
To Lydia, many said it was impossible for me to even dream of winning but the numbers I pulled in and you winning by a very small margin, especially in such a stronghold of the NPP makes me extremely proud of the whole campaign.
I may not be satisfied with the final results or the irregularities that occurred, but before everything else I am Ghanaian and I will always put the people first“Ut Omnes onum sint”.
So I’m ready to help to make this constituency the greatest. (I have new wellington boots for you too) Mega tsi dzi o.
To my colleague actors and those in the creative arts industry who supported me, God bless each and every one of you, many of you did without me having to ask and I appreciate the overwhelming show of support.
What’s next?
I will continue farming, travelling around Ghana, engaging people, helping entrepreneurs and touching the lives of as many Ghanaians as I can; “facta non-Verba”
I thank the Almighty God for bringing me this far and to my family and friends, God bless each and everyone for all the support. To my constituency executives, branch executives and all who made this run possible, especially the young vibrate campaign team members, Chale u do all!!!
In my Likpe Language they say “…Onanto eso lesasaa borleke…” It means because of God everything will be ok.
God bless our homeland Ghana and make our nation great and strong. “Ad astra per aspera.”
