Chairman Wontumi Declares Intention to Contest NPP National Chairmanship
Bernard Antwi-Boasiako, known as Chairman Wontumi, is the Ashanti Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP). He has officially announced that he will run for the position of National Chairman of the party.
In a declaration of intent dated February 4, 2026, Chairman Wontumi said his decision followed consultations with party elders and the youth. He emphasized that his bid aims to strengthen, rebuild, and unify the NPP at a crucial time in its history.
“Our party has faced challenges and learned hard lessons along the way. At this critical moment, the NPP demands leadership that is steady, principled, and committed to unity,” he stated.
Chairman Wontumi said he is offering himself to serve not out of personal ambition, but out of a commitment to restore confidence in the party, empower the grassroots, and position the NPP for victory in the 2028 general elections.
He emphasised the need for courageous and decisive leadership, noting that the road ahead would require vision, sacrifice, and unwavering determination.
“The road ahead will demand vision, courage, and unwavering determination. Leadership at this moment requires bravery — the courage to stand firm, make difficult decisions, and the willingness to lose all if necessary for the NPP,” the statement said.
He described himself as a grassroots-oriented leader who values every member of the party, from elders to the youngest supporters, and pledged to work toward unity and organisational strength.
Chairman Wontumi expressed confidence in the party’s readiness for the future, declaring, “We are ready. We are organised. We are built for the battle ahead.”
He concluded by calling on party members to rally together, saying the NPP would “rise again — together,” and ended the statement with prayers for the party, Ghana’s democracy, and the nation.
Chairman Wontumi currently serves as the Ashanti Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party and is expected to formally file his nomination when the party opens nominations for the National Chairmanship position.
