John Dumelo Files For Ballot Recount After Losing To Lydia Alhassan
Actor and politician John Dumelo does not believe in the provisional results in Ayawaso West Wuogon constituency as he files for a ballot recount.
The New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) Lydia Seyram Alhassan retained the Ayawaso West Wuogon parliamentary seat after beating the NDC’s John Dumelo in a tight, dramatic race.
Per the provisional results, Lydia Alhassan polled 39,851 of the total votes while Dumelo managed 37,778 votes.
In a statement he released on Tuesday, December 8, he indicated that one of such irregularities is the swapping of his votes and that of the NPP candidate at polling centres.
