Actor Fred Nuamah who was lacing his boots to contest as parliamentary candidate of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) for the Ayawaso West Wuogon (AWW) Constituency has changed his mind.

The Actor who was about to contest his friend John Dumelo is now in support of the former’s bid to lead the NDC in the Constituency.

In a letter dated August 7, 2023, and addressed to the National Executive Committee (NEC) of the NDC, Mr Nuamah stressed that his decision to withdraw from the parliamentary primaries was made in the interest of the unity of the party after “extensive consultations with key stakeholders and without any external influence.”

Actor Fred Nuamah has abandoned his ambition of becoming the parliamentary candidate of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) for the Ayawaso West Wuogon(AWW) Constituency and is now in support of John Dumelo’s bid to lead the NDC in the Constituency.

In a letter dated August 7, 2023, and addressed to the National Executive Committee (NEC) of the NDC, Mr Nuamah stressed that his decision to withdraw from the parliamentary primaries was made in the interest of the unity of the party after “extensive consultations with key stakeholders and without any external influence.”

“I firmly believe that the NDC must present a unified front for the 2024 general elections. As a dedicated member of the NDC, I prioritize the party’s unity and the President John Mahama project aimed at rescuing our country,” he explained in his withdrawal letter addressed to the NEC of the NDC.

Beyond declaring his support for his former archrival John Dumelo he urged his support base to rally behind him so as to enable the NDC to rescue the country from the ‘chokehold’ of the administration of the New Patriotic Party (NPP).

“I wholeheartedly endorse and throw my support behind my good friend and brother, Mr. John Dumelo, to be the parliamentary candidate for the NDC in the Ayawaso West-Wuogon constituency….

“I urge all my supporters across all levels of the party in the constituency to rally behind John Dumelo and provide him with needed support. Together, with a renewed sense of togetherness, we can secure victory in the 2024 elections and uplift our nation from its current state,” he added.
