Bernard Antwi Boasiako, the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) Ashanti Regional Chairman, has brazenly stated his desire to become the party’s next National Chairman. He claims that he is the ideal candidate for the position because of his unparalleled commitment and years of unwavering support.
“I’ve been consistent, I’ve been selfless, and I’ve always sacrificed for this party,” he said in an interview with Oheneba Aseidu on Wontumi TV. “Everything I’ve done has come from my own pocket, not from any government position, because I’ve never held one.”
Chairman Wontumi recounted his contributions throughout the years, revealing that in 2014 and 2018, he personally covered all of the party’s polling station, constituency, and regional aspirant forms.
“In 2022, I did the same but focused on the Ashanti region, even covering the nomination forms of my own opponent,” he added.
He asserted that his dedication extends beyond regional initiatives. In an attempt to advance the party at a pivotal moment, he claimed to have used an astounding one billion old cedis to fund the 2015 NPP National Congress in Tamale.
“I used articulator trucks to distribute uniforms, books, and pens across the country between 2014 and 2016. I didn’t wait for the party to ask. I just did it,” Wontumi recounted, underscoring his passion for grassroots mobilization.
Wontumi, who is currently in his third term as Regional Chairman and was formerly the Chairman of the Bosomtwe Constituency, feels that the time is right to extend his leadership to the national level.
“I’ve served this party faithfully. I built a constituency office from scratch when I was chairman. I’ve paid monthly contributions to the national office. I’ve sponsored every youth event in the region. What else is left to prove?” he questioned.
