Someone close to Akufo-Addo wants Yvonne Nelson to contest the Ayawaso West seat

Ahead of the launch of Yvonne Nelson’s debut book, it was revealed that a close associate of President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo wanted actress Yvonne Nelson to be a parliamentary candidate of the New Patriotic Party in the Ayawaso West Wuogon Constituency.

Investigative journalist Manasseh Azure Awuni, who has also published some books to his credit, provided a snippet of some of the startling details contained in the book.

In a Twitter post on Saturday, June 17, 2023, Manasseh revealed that a person closely associated with President Akufo-Addo wanted the actress to be the NPP’s candidate for Ayawaso West Wuogon, replacing the current Member of Parliament for the area, Lydia Seyram Alhassan.

Manasseh wrote:

“Someone VERY close to President Akufo-Addo wanted Yvonne Nelson to contest Ayawaso West Wuogon on the NPP’s ticket instead of Lydia Alhassan. But that’s even a minor revelation about the @yvonnenelsongh book, which will be launched tomorrow. It’s EXPLOSIVELY riveting”.

Lydia Alhassan became a member of parliament for Ayawaso West Wuogon by securing victory in an infamous by-election on January 13, 2019, following the demise of her husband, the late Kyerematen Agyarko, who was the member of parliament for the area at that time.

The actress and movie producer, aside from being critical of the then National Democratic Congress government led by John Dramani Mahama, was a lead organizer of the famous ‘Dumsor Vigil’ on May 16, 2015.

However, since the election of the NPP into power in 2016 and their re-election in 2020, Yvonne Nelson, whose activities were deemed crucial to the NDC being voted out of office, has become critical of President Akufo-Addo’s government.

She has, on various occasions, called out President Akufo-Addo for being incompetent and failing to live up to expectations.
