There’s a viral photo trending on social media that sees the money aspiring MP John Dumelo met his opponent Lydia Alhassan — who’s the current MP for Ayawaso West Wuogon Constituency in the Greater Accra Region on the ticket of the New Patriotic Party.
As the 2020 elections draw nigh, there’s tight competition between this two as Dumelo is striving to overthrow Lydia and she’s also trying her best to retain the seat.
In the photo, one can see the duo laughing as if they’re not enemies.

Meanwhile, Madam Lydia recently said that Dumelo cannot lead Ayawaso West because he once said he does not believe in intellectuals.
According to her, the Constituency has five Tertiary Institutions and a number of Junior and Senior High Schools and therefore will need someone who believes that education is a game-changer to lead them.
To her, if John Dumelo is voted into power, the Ayawaso West Wuogon which is dominated by elites will retrogress in its development so there is the need for the people in the Constituency to make the best decision by voting for her.
Lydia Alhassan was speaking in an interview on Accra-based Joy News when she made this known.
She said: “We have five tertiary institutions here. The last time I heard he doesn’t believe in intellectuals and you want to lead a constituency where you don’t believe in them? I do respect and believe in them even you’re not today, that is why we have projects. Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo by the Grace of God set up this Free SHS for those down there to be able to take advantage of it and build themselves. So we are building people, you may not be intellectual today, but by the Grace of God, with the measures and policies that are put in place you’ll become.”
“We all started from nowhere. NPP we believe in building people and that is what we are doing and they’ll not make a mistake to vote for someone who doesn’t believe in them. They shouldn’t make the mistake, we will retrogress as a constituency. We want someone who can bring developmental projects to the Constituency and that’s exactly what I’m doing.”
