Wontumi’s incarceration will not stop his chairmanship bid – Palgrave
Dr Palgrave Boakye-Dankwah, spokesperson for Bernard Antwi Boasiako, popularly known as Chairman Wontumi, says his incarceration will not derail his bid to contest for the New Patriotic Party's (NPP) national chairmanship.
Dr. Palgrave Boakye-Dankwah, spokesperson for Bernard Antwi Boasiako, also known as Chairman Wontumi, has asserted that the former Ashanti Regional Chairman's incarceration will not hinder his ambition to contest for the New Patriotic Party's (NPP) national chairmanship. In an interview on Joy FM's Newsnight, Dr. Boakye-Dankwah stated that supporters of Wontumi would collect nomination forms on his behalf before the end of the week, despite concerns about his eligibility under the party's constitution.
He emphasized that Wontumi remains committed to his goal of leading the party and intends to proceed with the nomination process while serving his 20-year prison sentence for illegal mining activities in the Samreboi concession in the Western Region. Dr. Boakye-Dankwah explained that supporters, who view Wontumi as a political prisoner, are confident that the NPP will support his candidacy and address any challenges that may arise. The campaign team plans to collect and submit the nomination forms after Wontumi signs them.
