According to the Campaign Manager, John Dumelo only raised concerns after he realized that he had lost the elections.
He added that the NDC candidate was confident of winning the seat because of the praises he was receiving from his followers on social media.
Nii Lantey said that Ayawaso West Wuogon is a serious constituency and that John Dumelo could not even provide a list of the 4,000 laptops he claimed he distributed in the constituency when he was subjected to strict proof.
Due to this, Nii Lantey went on to advise the actor-turned-politician to be sincere and try his best to touch the lives of constituents just like the MP-elect, Lydia Alhassan has been doing.
The words of the NPP campaign manager follow a letter John Dumelo wrote to the Electoral Commission through the district electoral officer in Ayawaso West Wuogon to have all ballot boxes in the constituency re-counted.
The NDC candidate was asking for the recount almost 24-hours after the Returning Officer had declared the incumbent MP Hon. Lydia Alhassan the winner of the parliamentary election in the area.
John Dumelo, among many other things, cited irregularities and swapping of results as the basis for his request.
At the end of the parliamentary polls in Ayawaso West Wuogon Constituency, the sitting MP, Lydia Alhassan polled 39, 851 votes as against John Dumelo's 37,778 votes.
