Wontumi’s spokesperson appeals for prayers as family prepares to bury his sister

Spokesperson for incarcerated former New Patriotic Party (NPP) Ashanti Regional Chairman, Bernard Antwi Boasiako, popularly known as Chairman Wontumi, Palgrave Boakye Danquah, has appealed to Ghanaians to remember the politician and his family in their prayers.

He said the family was going through a difficult period as it prepares to bury Wontumi’s elder sister over the weekend.

Speaking on Adom FM’s Dwaso Nsem on Wednesday, November 11, 2026, Boakye Danquah said the family needed prayers and support, particularly for the former regional chairman’s wife, children, father and other relatives.

“I will plead with Ghanaians to remember Wontumi and his family in their prayers. His wife, children, father, and the entire family need our prayers, especially as we prepare to bury his sister over the weekend,” he said.

Beyond the family’s bereavement, the spokesperson also appealed to the public to pray for a favourable outcome in the legal proceedings involving Wontumi.

He said the family was hopeful that the ongoing appeal and bail processes would proceed smoothly and eventually lead to the politician's release from prison.

“We also ask for prayers that God will make everything go smoothly with the appeal and bail hearing so that he can be released from prison,” he added.

Boakye Danquah's appeal comes as the Wontumi family prepares to lay his elder sister to rest amid the former NPP regional chairman's ongoing legal challenges.
