Jon Benjamin On John Dumelo’s Political Ambition

Ghanaian actor and farmer, John Dumelo, has picked forms to contest the parliamentary primaries of the National Democratic Congress (NDC).


As expected, fans on social media expressed their views on the decision by the actor, they were also quick to ask John’s “best friend”, former UK High Commissioner to Ghana, Jon Benjamin if he was in support of the decision.


The former UK High Commissioner replied and said that he was politically neutral but was willing to spray John’s presidential limo.

“I have to remain politically neutral, I’m afraid, though I wish my friend, Mr Dumelo, very well. But when @johndumelo1 becomes President, I will personally spray paint his presidential limo any colour of his choice and for absolutely free”, he wrote.

The nominations forms and filing fees were priced at GH¢1,000 and GH¢10,000 respectively, with a 50 per cent discount on the filing fees for women and persons with disability.

The NDC primary is expected to come off on Friday, 28 December, 2018.

John Dumelo has for the past years been a strong supporter and member of the National Democratic Congress, and has publicly shown this in his activities on campaign platforms and social media.
