Every Ghanaian by now knows the political aspiration of actor John Dumelo who used to be on our screens, serving us entertainment in the form of movies.
John Dumelo is currently on the ticket of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) as a parliamentary candidate for the Ayawaso West Wuoguon Constituency in the upcoming December general elections.
He has been on the campaign trail since he won the primaries and has through several benevolent acts and interventions, positioned himself as a strong and formidable competition against Madam Lydia Alhassan, the incumbent Member of Parliament of the area.
Well, a video that was shared on Twitter by musician Captian Planet had John Dumelo munching some spicy bean cakes aka ‘koose’ and sipping millet porridge aka ‘koko’ from a polythene bag. According to Captain Planet, the act by the young politician depicts his humility and readiness to lead and serve his people thus he should be voted for in the election.
This assertion has been met with stiff opposition with many describing the solemn act by John Dumelo as a well-calculated show of humility to woo voters in his favour. However, others believe, he has done enough for his constituents even when he has won yet, hence deserves to be in Ghana’s parliament.
