Bernard Antwi Boasiako, popularly known as Chairman Wontumi, a New Patriotic Party (NPP) national chairman hopeful, has told his fellow party members that until Dr Mahamudu Bawumia becomes president, he will not rest.
According to Wontumi, he will work tirelessly to secure victory for the NPP and Dr Bawumia in the 2028 election.
Speaking at the end of a constituency unity walk in Tarkwa-Nsuaem in the Western Region, Wontumi stated, “I will not rest until Dr Mahamudu Bawumia becomes the next president of Ghana come 2028”.
Wontumi made this known while addressing the gathering after the Tarkwa-Nsuaem constituency branch of the NPP under the theme, “United we walk, stronger we build.”
Chairman Wontumi also criticised what he described as the economic difficulties facing Ghanaians and urged party members to remain united.
In other news, Chairman Wontumi, an aspiring National Chairman of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP), has dismissed criticism about his English proficiency.
Wontumi argued that people keep saying he does not speak good English, but that does not bother him as he is not in an English-speaking competition.
According to Wontumi, his focus is to regain power in the 2028 general elections and is not bothered by comments questioning his academic credentials or English.
Speaking in an interview on Asempa FM’s Ekosii Sen show, Chairman Wontumi said, “People saying I don’t speak good English doesn’t stop me. I’m unperturbed. I’m not in the national chairmanship race for an English-speaking competition. I’m in it to serve the people, and I will always speak the language the grassroots understand”.
“I’m not here to spoil our constitution but to fulfil it and claim victory for the party. I don’t think the party is concerned about titles; rather, the party wants power”.
“My certificate is my experience. I have been in this for 20 years. I have been the regional chairman three consecutive times. I have the party constitution at heart,” he stated.
“We had elite leaders for the 2024 elections, and we lost, so why don’t we try the grassroots as well? ” he questioned.
Wontumi further argued, “I am coming to alleviate us from the pain of the election we lost. We have learned from our mistakes, and we are going to correct all of them”.
“If I am made chairman, it will debunk all the allegations that if you don’t have a certificate, you can’t rise in the ranks in the NPP. It will give everyone hope that if you work well at the party, you can be promoted to higher positions,” he stated.
“The grassroots, for the first time, will partner with academia. I am going to be a chairman for everyone—a working chairman, a grassroots chairman, and a listening chairman,” he said.
“We will work collectively, and the NPP is going to work again,” he added.
