Bernard Antwi Boasiako, known as Chairman Wontumi, is still determined to run for the New Patriotic Party (NPP) National Chairman despite being imprisoned, according to his spokesperson, Dr Palgrave Boakye-Dankwah.

He clarified that there are no legal restrictions preventing Wontumi or his supporters from initiating the nomination process. Dr Boakye-Dankwah also dismissed calls for Wontumi to halt his political ambitions and focus solely on his legal case, citing Wontumi's substantial progress in his campaign before his sentencing.
