Dr. S K Nuamah, a former Member of Parliament for Kwadaso on the New Patriotic Party (NPP) ticket, has made serious allegations about a politically charged scheme that led to his removal from office as reported by Ghana Web.
In a recent interview with Oyerepa TV, Nuamah accused Bernard Antwi Boasiako, also known as Chairman Wontumi, the Ashanti Regional Chairman of the NPP, of orchestrating his ousting.
Nuamah claims Wontumi openly told him he had been given instructions to unseat him as the parliamentary candidate.
“Our chairman Wontumi told me, right in front of me, that they said he should unseat me, so he will make sure he does,” Nuamah recalled.

He also spoke about an apology he was instructed to offer to Dr. Owusu Afriyie Akoto, then Minister of Food and Agriculture, without being told what he had done wrong.
This demand, he suggested, was a major turning point in his political downfall. “He was like I should go and apologise to Afriyie Akoto, and I didn’t even know my offence,” he said.
Dr. Nuamah went on to reveal that there were discrepancies in the electoral process ahead of the NPP’s parliamentary primary.
He described how the delegates’ album used in the constituency executives’ election was changed just before the parliamentary election, despite his protests.
In addition, he claimed that the judge who heard his case in court was intimidated into ruling against him. “They called the judge to warn him, so he was under coercion to deliver the verdict without looking at the issue at hand,” he alleged.
Nuamah also admitted that the NPP had significant internal flaws. “Let us talk about our sins,” he concluded.
