A claim has been circulating that John Dumelo won the Ayawaso West Wuogon parliamentary seat with a whopping margin of over 20,000 votes. However, this claim has been debunked as false.

According to the official results, John Dumelo indeed won the seat, but with a margin of 13,184 votes. He secured a total of 40,561 votes, while his opponent, Lydia Alhassan, polled 27,377 votes.

The Ghana Fact-Checking Coalition has verified the results, confirming that the winning margin was indeed 13,184 votes, not over 20,000. This correction is based on the official pink sheet signed by the candidates' agents and the returning officer for the constituency.

It's essential to rely on credible sources of information to avoid spreading misinformation. In this case, the official results and the fact-checking coalition's verification have set the record straight.

The Ayawaso West Wuogon constituency has been a closely watched seat, and the results have been eagerly anticipated. While John Dumelo's victory is a significant one, it's essential to report the accurate margin of victory to maintain the integrity of the electoral process.



In conclusion, the claim that John Dumelo won the Ayawaso West Wuogon seat with over 20,000 votes has been disproven. The actual margin of victory was 13,184 votes, as confirmed by the official results and fact-checking efforts.
