'Can't you see the pain I’m going through' - Wontumi 'emotionally' questions NPP

Ashanti Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Bernard Antwi Boasiako, popularly known as Chairman Wontumi, has opened up about his disappointment with the party’s current leadership, saying he feels abandoned despite his contributions to the party.

In a video circulating on social media and sighted by GhanaWeb on July 16, 2026, Chairman Wontumi questioned the party’s leadership over what he described as a lack of appreciation for his sacrifices, particularly through his media platforms.

According to him, his radio stations have remained among the few media outlets consistently promoting the NPP.

"The General Secretary led the party to defeat, yet we have not learned any lessons from it. The pain we expressed is the reason why.

“You can all attest to the fact that my radio stations in Accra and Takoradi have fully supported the party. Yet our party communicators and the party have done nothing about it,” he said.

Chairman Wontumi further alleged that following what he described as attacks on his media outlets by the government, no member of the party had come to his support.

He said the experiences he has endured since the National Democratic Congress (NDC) returned to power have taught him painful lessons.

"The pain I am experiencing in life has made me reflect deeply. It has taught me a lot. Why are you people behaving this way? Can’t you see the pain I’m going through? The NPP radio doesn’t have any other option,” he lamented.
