Ghanaian actor, farmer, Philanthropist and politician, John Dumelo has disclosed that he will quit acting should he win the Member of parliament sit he is vying for.
In an interview on TV3 NewDay on Friday, John disclosed that there were so many parliamentarians who were into other professions before they were elected to office “Of course there will be one or two times where I will still offer advice in the acting industry, maybe I can still do one or two [movies] because it is part of me.”
He explained, “certain careers you just don’t hang your boots, there is always an aspect of it that follows you in life.”
Commenting on the circumstances that surrounded the current MP of Ayawaso West Wuogon, Lydia Alhassan’s ‘bloody’ victory this year, John Dumelo said;
“I feel like I will not comment on that issue…it happed, some people in the NDC said it is fair, other people said it was not. I am just neutral.”
He also promised to “campaign with a clean heart and that is what will lead me to victory. I don’t campaign calling people names. It will not add a vote.”
John is vying to be voted for as the Mp for Ayawaso West Wuogon on the tickets of NDC.
