The Ashanti Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Bernard Antwi Boasiako, popularly known as Chairman Wontumi, continues to make his case for the National Chairman position of the party.
The Ashanti Regional NPP chairman has stated that his decision to run for the national chairmanship is driven by his love for the party and his belief that he possesses the qualities to bring it back to power.
He said that he has demonstrated his love for the party by supporting the NPP with significant funds, even when he was the chairman for the Bosomtwi Constituency.
He disclosed that he supported the party’s 2015 National Congress, which was held in Tamale, with 1 billion.
Although Wontumi did not mention the currency denomination in his disclosure, the Ghana cedi was the country’s currency at the time of his donation.
“When I was the chairman for the Bosomtwi Constituency, I was sponsoring all the programmes of the youth wing of the party. Additionally, I was supporting the national leadership of the party with funds every month. Auntie Esther and others can attest to this.
“The love I have for this party is immense. I was supporting the national leadership of the party with money because we were in opposition. Even in 2015, after my constituency election, I gave all the remaining funds to the national leadership,” he said in the Twi dialect in an interview on Wontumi TV/Radio on May 15, 2025.
He added, “After my election, I gave them [GH¢] 1 billion to help organise the national congress in Tamale. This is something I have been doing; I’m a very selfless and loving person.”
The Ashanti Regional Chairman disclosed that he supported the party in all 16 regions of Ghana with a donation of [GH¢] 200,000 for the voter registration exercise for the 2020 general elections.
