Chairman Wontumi

The Ashanti Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Bernard Antwi Boasiako, famously known as Chairman Wontumi has shared a conversation he had with the former Upper East Regional Chairman of the party, late Adams Mahama.

Speaking at a rally that marked the conclusion of Vice President Mahamudu Bawumia’s flagbearer campaign in the Upper East region, Chairman Wontumi disclosed the late Adams Mahama’s wish for Dr. Bawumia is to succeed President Akufo-Addo as the party’s next leader.

Chairman Wontumi revealed that he had a private discussion with Adams Mahama during the latter’s early days as the regional chairman.
He quoted Adams Mahama as saying, “Chairman Wontumi, if you want Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo to win the 2016 elections, I also have an interest. Whether I’m dead or alive, what I desire is that after Nana Akufo-Addo, I want Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia to be the next president.”

Chairman Wontumi revealed that he had a private discussion with Adams Mahama during the latter’s early days as the regional chairman.

Wontumi went on to express, “Today, I’m pleased to say, ‘Chairman Adams, wherever you are,’ I have thrown my support behind Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, and I recall the conversation we had. We are not only assisting him in winning on November 4, but we are committed to helping him secure victory in the 2024 elections.”

Adams Mahama tragically lost his life due to an acid attack in Bolgatanga in May 2015. One person has been sentenced in connection with his murder, and another individual, Gregory Afoko, is still on trial for his alleged involvement in the case.
