During the discussions, Dumelo made a point that his free laptop distribution to tertiary students in the constituency was the single largest initiative.

“...Our works so far in the constituency is to provide employment and aid to the constituents. Our laptop policy is the single largest Initiative in the constituency,” he said among other things.

While responding to some of the submissions by Maa Lydia, as the incumbent MP is popularly known, made an expression in Twi which literally translated that Dumelo did not think through some of his actions and interventions.

The statement coupled with the fact Maa Lydia came to the debate two hours late infuriated Dumelo who demanded that she apologised for her comment.

Maa Lydia refused to render an apology while insisting that her comment was not an insult to her contender.

Displeased by the development, Dumelo got up from where he was seated and decided to leave while the organisers tried to hold him back.
