Popular Ghanaian actor and movie producer, Fred Nuamah has withdrawn from the National Democratic Congress (NDC) parliamentary primaries in the Ayawaso West-Wuogon constituency.
In a letter to the party’s General Secretary, Johnson Asiedu Nketia, Nuamah said he made the decision after extensive consultations with key stakeholders.
“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,” he said in the letter dated August 7.
“This decision was personal and was made after extensive consultations with key stakeholders, without any external influence.”
Nuamah said he believes that the NDC must present a unified front for the 2024 general elections, and that his withdrawal will help to achieve this goal.
“As a dedicated member of the party, I prioritize the party’s unity and the NDC flagbearer John Dramani Mahama project aimed at rescuing Ghana,” he said.
In light of his withdrawal, Nuamah has wholeheartedly endorsed and thrown his support behind his good friend, Mr. John Dumelo, to be the parliamentary candidate for the NDC in the Ayawaso West-Wuogon constituency.
“I have no doubt that John Dumelo has the experience, the passion, and the commitment to lead our party to victory in the 2024 elections,” he said.
“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.”
Nuamah concluded by extending his heartfelt gratitude to his numerous supporters at the branch, ward, and constituency levels for their unwavering support, dedication, and affection.
He said he cherishes every moment of their interactions and admires the enthusiasm of their grassroots in their pursuit of seeing the NDC and former President John Mahama reclaim political power to better the lives of the good people of Ghana.
Dumelo, a multifaceted celebrity, contested in the Ayawaso West-Wuogon constituency in the last general elections.
Although the NDC has already held its parliamentary primaries nationwide, a few constituencies were put on hold, including the Ayawaso West-Wuogon.
The party is expected to hold a fresh round of primaries in these constituencies in the coming weeks.
