Leila Djansi has consoled John Dumelo by implying that the election was conducted on bribe.

The filmmaker remarked that John Dumelo however did extremely well despite the mitigating circumstances that were all around him in his uphill fight for the Ayawaso West Wuogon MP seat. 

According to her, he must now focus on championing the cause of fixing the film industry following the loss, as the industry needs him now, more than ever.

“Elections conducted on bribery SHOULD always end in a loss. #GhanaDecides. BUT, my Jonivi did so well that, it will keep the MP on her toes to WORK FOR THE PEOPLE. Congratulations @johndumelo1 ."

"Try again by championing causes in your industry; FILM. Let’s SEE your history of serving. There’s so much to be fixed in Ghana’s film industry. Please lead that fight and then, you come back trained and ready,” she wrote in a post on Instagram.

She then advised others that would follow in his footsteps.

“Guys, If you desire politics in your future, start NOW where ever you are. Cultivate a habit of serving and leading initiatives. Don’t wake up one morning and start bribing, braiding, pounding and bonding cos you want votes. That’s disrespectful to the people."

"Start now! Brighten the corner where you are. Politicians need to stop taking voters for granted. You can’t bribe folks with laptop and when you win, your kid goes to Harvard and the voters' kids struggle for desks and jobs. Very proud of how assertive Ghanaians are becoming."

"Hope the entire genpop catches up soon,” she added.
