Actor John Dumelo, who has never concealed his affiliation to the
incumbent National Democratic Congress (NDC), has taken his allegiance
to the party a notch higher, saying he is proud to be a member of the
party because unlike the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP), the NDC
is not violent and does not bathe members with acid.
It would be recalled, that the NPP’s Upper East Regional Chairman
Adams Mahama, died in 2015, after a party member allegedly poured acid
on him.
A prime suspect, Gregory Afoko, who is brother to the suspended
National Chairman of the NPP, Paul Afoko, is currently standing trial
for the murder of Mr. Mahama, who died from the bruises inflicted on him
by the acid.
In what seem like insinuations targeted at the opposition New
Patriotic Party (NPP), Mr. Dumelo, who was addressing a group of NDC
supporters as part of campaigning for the party at Wa in the Upper West
Region, asked them to be proud being NDC members because they have
joined a good party, where they won’t be bathed with acid over
dissenting views.
Mr. Dumelo is largely not known for this type of politics, but it
appears he may be lacing his boots for the real game, with barely five
months to the elections in December.
“Some people are violent, they will chase you with sticks, and they
will pour acid on you. But remember that you belong to a good party,”
John said in response to cheers of NDC slogans from the crowd. He
further stated that, “I am proud to be an NDC person and I know each and
every one of you is proud.
"One day, each and every one of you will be blessed with so many
things. So basically, this is my second time in Wa, the first time I was
here was in 2009. The next time when I am coming, I am going to bring
the other actors who are my friends to come and interact with
everybody,” John promised.

one of the languages spoken by residents in the Upper East Region.
