Chairman Wontumi officially announces plan to contest as NPP National Chairman

The Ashanti Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Bernard Antwi Boasiako, popularly known as Chairman Wontumi, has officially declared his intention to contest for the position of National Chairman of the party ahead of the 2028 general elections.

Speaking on Wontumi Radio, he explained that after deep spiritual reflection and engagement with God, he received divine confirmation to pursue the party's national leadership role.

He further stated that once nominations are opened, he will formally submit his application to contest.

"I have sought guidance from God, asking for His support when the time comes for me to pick up nomination forms. I want the opportunity to serve the NPP and help secure victory in the 2028 elections. When the right time arrives, I will pick up the forms and contest accordingly," he affirmed.

Meanwhile, the New Patriotic Party, led by its 2024 Presidential Candidate, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, is currently on a ‘Thank You’ tour to express gratitude on behalf of the presidential candidate, the campaign team, and the party to NPP members and Ghanaians for their support throughout the 2024 election season.

The regional tour began on April 26, 2025, in the Western Region and is being held under the theme “In All Things, Give Thanks to God,” inspired by the anchor verse, 1 Thessalonians 5:18.

The exercise also aims to strengthen unity and reinforce the bond between the NPP leadership and its grassroots supporters. It will conclude with an interfaith thanksgiving service featuring both Christian and Islamic observances.
