Dumelo addresses entertainer public perception
YEN.com.gh reported that Ayawaso West Wuogon MP-elect, John Dumelo, addressed the public perception of people seeing him as more of an entertainer than a politician.
During an exclusive interview with HitzFM, the actor-turned-politician explained that as an MP he would represent the people well in parliament.
The question triggered several other Ghanaians to cite the Ukrainian president, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, as an example since he was a comedian before becoming a politician.
