Bernard Antwi Boasiako, popularly known as Chairman Wontumi, the Ashanti Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has urged party delegates to elect him as the NPP national chairman.
According to Wontumi, he is going to use Twi to get the job done for the NPP.
Wontumi stressed the need for grassroots engagement in leadership, highlighting that local language is key to winning the next general election.
Chairman Wontumi emphasised the pivotal role of language in political outreach.
He stressed that he intends to rely on his fluency in Twi to connect directly with the voters.
Speaking to supporters during his campaign tour in Accra on Sunday, 29 March 2026, Wontumi explained, “I have worked as a constituency chairman, constituency executive, and now I am a regional chairman. I know what they need and what they want.
“If you elect me as the national chairman, I am going to use Twi to get this job done. The grassroots are going to respond, and we will win the election in 2028,” he said.
In related news, Chairman Wontumi, a New Patriotic Party(NPP) National chairman hopeful, has said appointees who enjoyed JUICY positions under Akufo-Addo are nowhere to be found now that the party is in opposition.
Chairman Wontumi has expressed worry over the current state of the NPP, noting that all persons who got juicy appointments when the party was in power have left the political scene after the party’s humiliating defeat.
Speaking to NPP delegates when he met them in Asamankese, “After the elections, all those who enjoyed the juicy appointments are nowhere to be found. The party is now being run by the regional and constituency executives of the party.
We made a very big mistake as a party, but in 2028, when we win the election, we will not repeat these same mistakes”.
