An aide to the Ashanti Regional Chairman, Mr. Benard Antwi Bosiako commonly known as Chairman Wontumi, Ridwan Issah Khalifah has angrily described lost NPP parliamentary candidates in the region as greedy who kept funds given to them for campaign purposes to themselves.
According to him, this happens for the first time in the party’s history that parliamentary candidates in the Ashanti Region have been very resourced.
“Never in the history of the NPP have PCs in Ashanti Region been resourced than they were in this year’s elections. Some of them were very very greedy and tot they could keep funds and still perform well. We shall tell the story as it is. Watch this space!!!”.
This reaction from Issah Kalifah comes after President Akufo-Addo’s dream of obtaining the 3 million votes mark he targeted in the Ashanti Region fell into cold water.
The President had a week to the polls challenged the people of the Ashanti Region to vote massively for the party to have at least 3 million votes.
According to him, attaining 3 million voters from the party’s stronghold is very important for the party to win come December 7 convincingly.
“The Ashanti Region is the heart of the New Patriotic Party. As a political party, if you don’t focus more on your base you would always be found wanting. Our party from time immemorial; the Ashanti region has remained our cornerstone so there is the need for the people of Asante to support and encourage the party in everything”. President Akufo-Addo said this in an interview with Kumasi-based Angel FM.
