NPP Ashanti Regional Chairman Antwi Boasiako ‘Wontumi’
The Ashanti Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Bernard Antwi Boasiako, popularly known as Chairman Wontumi, has expressed strong confidence in his bid to become the party’s National Chairman.
Speaking on his Wontumi Radio on Thursday, May 15, 2025, Wontumi stated that he would not contest the position if he were not certain of victory, claiming that the people and regions have already decided in his favour.
“I know that the people have made their decision already, the people, the regions, and others have made their decisions already in terms of who will win as the general secretary. As I sit here, if I claim that I don’t know, I would be lying. If I am not confident that the people have chosen me as the national chairman, I won’t contest. They have chosen, and I know, the people have decided already. They know what we have done,” Wontumi said during the interview.
Wontumi, who has served as the Ashanti Regional Chairman since 2014, officially declared his intention to contest the NPP National Chairmanship on May 5, 2025, citing divine guidance and a commitment to lead the party to victory in the 2028 general elections.
He emphasised that his decision to run was rooted in spiritual conviction, stating in an earlier interview on Wontumi TV that he had “spoken to God” and received divine favour for his ambition.
He believes his track record and grassroots support position him as the ideal candidate to steer the party nationally.
“I want the opportunity to serve the NPP and help secure victory in the 2028 elections,” he affirmed in a previous statement.
