Many social media users praised the MP for his continued support for students, calling the gesture timely and thoughtful.
This is not the first time the MP has organised free transportation for students of the University of Ghana.
In December 2024, shortly after winning the parliamentary seat, he launched a similar initiative during the Christmas break. That arrangement, titled ‘Travel Home with John Dumelo’, provided buses to several towns including Ejisu, Konongo, Winneba, and Ho.
John Dumelo won the Ayawaso West Wuogon seat in the December 7, 2024, elections. Running on the ticket of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), he defeated the incumbent, Lydia Seyram Alhassan of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), by a margin of 2,200 votes. Dumelo polled 34,800 votes, while Alhassan had 32,600.
During his campaign, he focused heavily on student needs. He donated laptops, visited halls regularly, and worked on projects aimed at solving accommodation problems on campus. His efforts helped him build strong support within the university community.
