Asokwa Constituency Chairman for the New Patriotic Party (NPP) says the incumbent regional Chairman Bernard Antwi Boasiako is not doing well for the party.<\/p>\n<p>Asare Bediako\u2019s comments were in response as to why he wants to challenge Chairman Wontumi, as he is popularly known, for the Regional Chairman portfolio.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou can argue that he led us to win in the region but it was teamwork, and I was part of that team,\u201d Mr. Bediako told Joy News\u2019 Elton John Brobbey at the NPP\u2019s Extraordinary Delegates\u2019 Conference Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>The conference was held to make some amendments to the NPP\u2019s constitution.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Bediako agreed that Chairman Wontumi performed to some extent but maintained that \u201che didn\u2019t do so many things right\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWontumi was not managing the region as a team, it was a one-man show\u201d, he said, in relation to the 2016 electioneering period.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Bediako also says the constituency executives were bent on getting the National Democratic Congress (NDC) out that was what propelled the NPP to victory.<\/p>\n<p>The NPP in December 2016 polls won 44 of the 47 seats in the Ashanti Region leaving only 3 for their contenders, the NDC.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf the NDC had done things right, we would have found things very difficult,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe constituency functionaries are buying my idea and by the grace of God I\u2019ll win,\u201d Mr. Bediako added.<\/p>\n<p>In attendance at the NPP\u2019s congress was the president of the Republic, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, Vice-President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia and his wife Samira Bawumia.<\/p>\n<p>The highlighted proposal that the constitution should be amended so dual citizens are barred from contesting executive positions in the party was withdrawn.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"600\" height=\"350\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/gXrI2sln0tA\" frameborder=\"0\"
