NPP Ashanti Regional Chairman Antwi Boasiako “Wontumi”
An appeal has been made to the National Executive of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) to take immediate steps to check the strange activities of the Ashanti Regional Chairman of the party, Bernardo Antwi Boasiako (also known as Chairman Wontumi). Ta. The party has a chance of winning the 2024 general election.
A group calling itself Ashanti NPP Youth says the way Wontumi is managing the NPP in the Ashanti region, where it is based, poses a threat to the movement’s bid to break through the eight countries.
“The strategies used to successfully conduct the 2020 elections will not apply to the 2024 elections as the balance of power has changed as no party broke the eight-year electoral cycle between the NPP and the NDC. We need to recognize the fact that we can’t.
“The party therefore needs unity, not acts that divide us,” the group said in a press statement.
He added: “The time has come to command Wontumi as we cannot allow him to continue his destructive activities in our homeland.”
Importance
The group critically examined the importance of the Ashanti region in planning the nuclear power plant, stating that “everything must be done to unite the region rather than condone the divisive activities of the Speaker”. Ta.
“The regional chairman is tearing the party apart in the Ashanti region. This region is our stronghold and any action that could reduce our votes and favor the NDC should not be tolerated. We want to break 8 and our location is the key to achieving that.”
The newspaper said Mr Wontumi is surrounded by around three or four people who are a major problem for the NPP’s progress towards the crucial general elections.
security investigation
The group called for a thorough investigation by security agencies to establish the dangerous channels through which Wontumi was running the party.
“This is a political party in power and it has all the security mechanisms at its disposal to investigate to find out that the party leaders in this region are destroying the party in our home turf.”
