Multiple award-winning Ghanaian actor and a staunch supporter of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), Prince David Osei, has vowed to throw his weight behind fellow actor, John Setor Dumelo ahead of the 2024 general elections.
Speaking in an interview on GHOne TV, Prince David Osei lamented that the current Member of Parliament for Ayawaso West Wuogon constituency, Lydia Alhassan has refused to listen to the very own people who risked their lives to campaign for her to win the seat in 2020 elections.
According to him, Lydia Alhassan has failed to fulfill her campaign promises to the residents of the Ayawaso West Wuogon prior to the 2020 parliamentary elections since voted into office.
He disclosed that he has reached to Lydia Alhassan’s Personal Assistant on several times to address the pressing needs of the students of Legon but to no avail.
Since Lydia Alhassan has decided not to listen to the people who deserted their friend, Dumelo to support her, then he will campaign for his friend in the upcoming elections to unseat her.
“Personally, it would not be shocking if you see me on a platform, campaigning for John to win the Ayawaso seat even though he’s an NDC but I’ll support NPP,” he said.
He continued, “When people go all out for you, you don’t take them for granted, you don’t do that. We stood on that platform, got a lot of insults because of Maa Lydia.”

Recall that a few celebrities took to the streets ahead of the 2020 general elections to support Lydia Alhassan, the MP for Ayawaso West Wuogon, in her bid to hold onto her seat.
The actors in the video preached “four more for Nana” while decked out in New Patriotic Party gear.
Kalybos, Bismark The Joke, Bibi Bright, Prince David Osei, Jessica Williams, Cwesi Oteng, and Jeneral Ntatia were among these actors.
These actors were heavily criticized by Ghanaians for not standing with their colleague, John Dumelo who contested for the seat on the ticket of the NDC.
Eventually, Maa Lydia defeated John Dunelo by a milestone votes, however, the actor has gotten the nod again to contest the current MP for Ayawaso seat in the 2024 general elections.
