Wontumi withdraws from NPP chairmanship race, urges support for Bawumia
New Patriotic Party (NPP) National Chairmanship aspirant Bernard Antwi-Boasiako, popularly known as Chairman Wontumi, has withdrawn from the party’s national chairmanship race, citing his current circumstances and a desire not to become a burden to the party.
Bernard Antwi-Boasiako, widely known as Wontumi, has decided to withdraw from the NPP's national chairmanship race. He made this decision after a period of prayer, reflection, and discussions with various parties, including his family, legal team, and party supporters. The decision was not a desired one, but Wontumi believes his personal circumstances should not add to the burden the NPP is already facing as it seeks to recover from its recent defeat.
He has served the party for many years and regards it as his family and home, and he does not want his situation to distract the party from its preparations for the 2028 elections. Despite facing legal challenges, Wontumi maintains his innocence and confidence in justice prevailing. He urges his supporters to rally behind NPP presidential candidate Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, and to maintain unity within the party ahead of the elections.
