Projections of Dumelo's win began shortly after the elections, as results showed him leading at polling stations. On December 8, 2024, he was officially announced as the winner, defeating Lydia Seyram Alhassan of the New Patriotic Party (NPP).

John Dumelo was sworn in on January 7, 2025, during the inauguration ceremony held at Black Star Square in Accra. The event also included the swearing-in of John Mahama as President of the Republic of Ghana. Mahama, who previously served as president, returned to office after securing 56.55% of the total votes in the December elections. His closest rival, Mahamudu Bawumia of the NPP, received 41.61% of the votes.

The ceremony, presided over by Speaker of Parliament Alban Bagbin and Chief Justice Gertrude Sackey Torkonoo, also saw Professor Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang sworn in as Ghana's first female Vice President.

John Dumelo's win in Ayawaso West Wuogon marked a significant moment for the NDC, as the constituency had long been a stronghold of the NPP.
