His emergence adds to the tally of individuals who have already expressed interest in the Ayawaso West Wuogon seat.
Earlier, a former Vice President of the University of Ghana Students Representative Council, Moses Baafi Acheampong, announced his intentions to contest the role.
Following the declarations by Moses Baafi Acheampong and Fred Nuamah, there are widespread speculations about whether actor, John Dumelo, will join the race.
In 2020, he led the NDC against the incumbent, Lydia Seyram Alhassan. Though he lost narrowly, his efforts were applauded, with many describing the elections as a ‘keenly contested’ exercise.
However, some sources close to the celebrity have hinted that the screen icon is considering another constituency in his home region, despite his performance against the incumbent in the 2020 polls.
