Taking his turn to speak, the actor-turned-politician did not hold back when he described his opponent as a "coward" for her alleged reluctance to face him in public forums.

"Every time there is supposed to be a constituency engagement between the candidates and the people, Lydia Alhassan runs away and does not attend," Dumelo stated.

He further asserted that Alhassan's absence stems from fear of confronting him "boot-for-boot" on issues concerning the constituency.
