Prince David Osei, recognized for his ties to the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), has chosen to back John Dumelo in his contest against Lydia Alhassan of the NPP for the upcoming 2024 elections.
Both candidates are set to compete for the Ayawaso West Wuogon seat, a highly significant constituency in Ghana’s electoral landscape.
Osei, a vocal advocate for the current Vice President and NPP flagbearer Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia’s presidential bid, has expressed that Lydia has shown ingratitude towards him and others who supported her during the previous elections.
“I don’t care about the candidate there… We stood on a platform and campaigned for the woman the last time. And she was ungrateful. So even though I’m a full-blooded NPP and I speak to power, I will support John,” he shared his reason on GHOne.
Prince David Osei then added that his endorsement of Dumelo goes beyond their friendship; he truly believes Dumelo is a better candidate who would more effectively advocate for the creative arts sector.
“It’s not because John is my friend. Because I believe that John is a better candidate. That’s my opinion. He’s one of the creative guys. And I would love to see John in parliament,” he added.
He continued; “We were told to rally behind Dr Bawumia and the other NPP candidates. But for me, I’m not rallying behind that woman.
“My dream is for John to win the Ayawaso West Wuogon constituency seat. That doesn’t mean I’m NDC. I’m still for Dr. Bawumia for the presidency and for other NPP MPs to go to parliament. But I’m throwing my weight behind my friend,” he concluded.
