New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) National Chairman aspirant, Chairman Wontumi, has secured a major endorsement from former Accra Mayor, Stanley Nii Adjiri Blankson.
Blankson, who is also a former member of the Council of State and a current member of the NPP National Council, threw his weight behind Wontumi during a meeting in Accra.
Wontumi reflected on his political journey and reaffirmed his commitment to the party.
He said his grassroots connection remains the foundation of his bid for National Chairman.
“Winning elections is a collective effort, not a one-man task. I come from the grassroots, and I understand their concerns, sacrifices, and expectations. Political victory is not about titles or certificates; it is about understanding and connecting with the grassroots, and no one understands them better than I do. My mission is to get the job done,” Wontumi said.
Responding, Blankson offered strong words of endorsement and fatherly counsel.
“I have been in politics for a very long time, and Wontumi has remained loyal and dedicated to the party. God will reward you. Listen to advice. You are my son, and I am your father,” Blankson stated.
He added: “I am going to rely on you, Wontumi. He is my son, and I deeply love him. We will work hard to ensure he wins. I am happy about your loyalty and commitment to Dr. Bawumia. Your words this afternoon have deeply touched me.”
Wontumi described Blankson as “one of the few remaining revered elders of the NPP,” and said the former Mayor had entrusted him with helping the party reclaim lost ground in Greater Accra and across the country.
“Blankson is entrusting Greater Accra into my hands so we can reclaim all lost seats, not only in the Ashanti Region, but across every region of Ghana,” Wontumi said.
Outlining his vision, Wontumi pledged to work for an NPP victory in 2028.
“I will work hard to ensure that Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia becomes the next President of Ghana. I will be a National Chairman for all 276 constituencies and all 16 regions. I will descend into the trenches, work hand in hand with the grassroots, and lead the party back to victory in 2028,” he said.
The meeting follows Wontumi’s recent visits with Former President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, Former Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, and former NPP National Chairman Freddy Blay, as part of his ongoing stakeholder engagements.
Wontumi expressed gratitude to Blankson for his endorsement, guidance, and blessings.
