The Ashanti Regional Chairman of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), Mr. Bernard Antwi-Boasiako, popularly known as Chairman Wontumi, has predicted a one-touch victory for Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, the Presidential Candidate of the party, in the December 7 general election.
According to him, the NPP government led by Akufo-Addo has done tremendously well in all sectors, and it truly deserves another opportunity to continue with the good works.
“We’re going to win this year’s election by one-touch; no ways about that. We intend to do more for Ghanaians, especially in the areas of road infrastructure, education, health, etc,” he said.
Speaking at the official inauguration of Bawumia Volunteers 2024 (B24) held at Rattary Park Dome on Friday, 27th September 2024, Chairman Wontumi called on the rank and file of the party, especially the volunteers group, not to waste their time on campaign of insults, but rather publicise the unprecedented achievements of the Akufo-Addo/Bawumia government.

The Ashanti Regional Minister, Mr. Simon Osei-Mensah, dared the NDC to name just one hospital project they started and commissioned in the region and he was ready to resign as the Regional Minister.
He cautioned the rank of the NPP not to fall for the lies and propaganda of the NDC ahead of the December polls.
The Minister said the NPP government had done great works in the region and encouraged all volunteer members and communicators to spread the good news of the NPP to ensure the “breaking the 8” agenda materialises.
