Wontumi has requested that Bawumia reject Napo as his running mate – Dr Amoako Baah alleges
Dr. Richard Baah Amoako, a former head of the Political Science Department at Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), has claimed that Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia’s running mate selection is being obstructed by Bernard Antwi Boasiako, also known as Chairman Wontumi, the Ashanti Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP).
Dr. Amoako Baah claims that Wontumi is obstructing Dr. Bawumia’s choice to select Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh, popularly known as Napo, as his running mate in the 2024 presidential election.
On Thursday, January 4, 2024, during an appearance on the Pae Muka show on Onua TV, the accusations were made.
“Bawumia said he needed more time to get the leader, the party gave him more time and I don’t know if he is done with his work. When it came that he wanted to appoint Napo, Wontumi said he wouldn’t agree, so it has become a big issue.
“So, unless we ask Wontumi to tell us why, so far, what I have heard is that he says he won’t agree and support that, he wants somebody else and now he is the Ashanti regional chairman, so when he says something, it has to be respected…this is what is going on, the chaos has become worse,” he said.
