Ashanti Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party, (NPP) Mr. Bernard Antwi Boasiako widely known as Chairman Wontumi has extended his warm congratulations to former Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia following his victory in the party’s flagbearer election.
In a statement issued on Saturday, January 31, 2026, Mr. Boasiako admitted that the period after the 2024 general elections had been difficult for the party, noting that the flagbearer contest had showcased the NPP’s resilience and unity.
“This process has shown that the NPP remains a strong, democratic and united political family, capable of reorganising and preparing for the future,” he said.
He continued that the party must now turn its attention to rebuilding and re-engaging its grassroots base in order to restore public confidence.
According to him, “The work ahead of us is clear. We must rebuild, reconnect with our base, and restore the confidence of the Ghanaian people,” adding that the task would require “honesty, hard work, discipline and, above all, unity.”
Mr. Boasiako said his support for the flagbearer process was driven by the belief that the party’s collective interest must always come before personal ambitions.
“Now is not the time for blame or internal divisions. Now is the time to close ranks and focus on winning again in 2028,” he noted, while calling on party members across all regions to rally behind Dr Bawumia.
He reiterates his commitment to strengthening the party ahead of the next elections, saying, “We may have lost in 2024, but not our spirit or values. The NPP will rise again – together.”
