Francis Ayenu, widely known as Robb Definitions, has announced his intention to contest the New Patriotic Party's parliamentary primaries in the Ayawaso West Wuogon constituency. This move sets the stage for a potential challenge against sitting MP John Dumelo in the 2028 general elections. Ayenu made the announcement via a post on Instagram on November 10, 2026, addressing residents of the constituency directly as an aspiring parliamentary candidate under the NPP banner.
The Ayawaso West Wuogon constituency covers areas stretching from Santana/Tesano through Abelemkpe, Dzorwulu, Airport, Roman Ridge, East Legon, Christian Centre, Mempeasem, Okponglo, Legon and West Legon. Ayenu acknowledged the contributions of previous parliamentary representatives, including George Isaac Amoo, Akosua Frema Osei-Opare, the late Emmanuel Kyeremateng Agyarko and Lydia Seyram Alhassan. He framed his bid as a continuation of that legacy under new leadership.
In his declaration, Ayenu cited the legacy of past constituency representatives as inspiration for his bid. He emphasized reconnecting with the constituency's grassroots base, rebuilding political strength, and making history together. Ayenu's bid will face stiff competition to become the opposition party's candidate for the 2028 elections. Other interested parties include Samuel Owusu Amankwah, a former constituency youth organiser, and Barbara Quashigah, an entrepreneur and philanthropist.
Should Ayenu succeed in securing the NPP's parliamentary ticket, he would face John Dumelo, who currently holds the seat for the National Democratic Congress (NDC). The two are reported to be close acquaintances, adding a personal dimension to what could become a highly competitive race ahead of 2028. Ayenu had hinted at contesting the NPP primaries in August 2026.
Robb Definitions is a serial entrepreneur, a real estate developer, a lawyer and an entertainment executive from Ghana who was based in the US. He has worked with some of the country's biggest superstars and showbiz brands, including Akwaaba UK and DJ Mensah. In 2024, he opened up about suspicions that he had been deported to Ghana due to serious paperwork issues.
The declaration drew swift responses from followers online, with many expressing support for Ayenu's bid. Reactions on social media included messages such as "Heavy, riding behind you. As a matter of fact, I saw you in my dreams. It is our seat now!" and "Let's go." Ayenu was called to the Ghana Bar in 2026, months after graduating from law school.
The NPP parliamentary primaries in Ayawaso West Wuogon are expected to be highly competitive, with several notable figures vying for the ticket. Key points include Ayenu's experience as a lawyer and entrepreneur, his connections to the constituency, and his commitment to continuing the legacy of past representatives.
