Fred Nuamah, a National Democratic Congress (NDC) parliamentary candidate in the Ayawaso West-Wuogon seat, has withdrawn from the campaign.
Nuamah stated in a letter to the party’s General Secretary that he took the personal choice after thorough talks with key stakeholders and with no outside influence.
“I am writing to formally notify the National Executive Committee (NEC) of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) about my decision to withdraw from the Ayawaso West-Wuogon NDC parliamentary primaries. This decision was personal and was made after extensive consultations with key stakeholders, without any external influence,” he said in the letter dated August 7.
Nuamah, a prominent actor and film producer, stated that he feels the NDC must show a united front in the 2024 general elections, therefore the decision.
He stated that as a committed member of the party, he prioritises party unity and the NDC flagbearer John Dramani Mahama’s initiative to save Ghana.
In light of his resignation, Nuamah has totally approved and backed his dear friend, Mr John Dumelo, as the NDC’s parliamentary candidate in the Ayawaso West-Wuogon seat.
Nuamah encouraged all of his followers in the constituency, at all levels of the party, to unite around Dumelo and provide him with the necessary assistance.
He believes that by working together, with a revitalized sense of unity, they can win the 2024 elections and take Ghana out of its current predicament.
Nuamah closed by thanking his many supporters at the branch, ward, and constituency levels for their enduring support, devotion, and affection.
He said he treasures every second of their encounters and admires their grassroots determination to see the NDC and former President John Mahama return to political power and improve the lives of Ghanaians.
Dumelo, a well-known actor and television personality, ran for the Ayawaso West-Wuogon seat in the 2015 general election.
Although the NDC has already held parliamentary primaries across the country, a few constituencies, like Ayawaso West-Wuogon, have been placed on hold.
