NPP faithful in Kumasi hold vigil in solidarity with imprisoned Chairman Wontumi

In the Ashanti Region, members and supporters of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) gathered for a solidarity vigil to show support for their Regional Chairman, Bernard Antwi Boasiako, also known as Chairman Wontumi. Dressed in NPP-branded shirts and holding party flags, the supporters assembled at Dr Mahamudu Bawumia’s campaign office in Asokwa.

The vigil aimed to demonstrate NPP’s unwavering support for Wontumi, who is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence after being convicted in the Samreboi illegal mining case. The NPP has consistently maintained its backing for Wontumi and has stated that it will explore all legal options to challenge his conviction and sentence.

The vigil took place as party members continue to discuss Wontumi’s imprisonment, with supporters using the event to express their loyalty to the Ashanti Regional Chairman. The atmosphere in Asokwa was charged with NPP colors, flags, and messages of support as party members rallied behind their regional chairman.
