NPP: Ashanti Regional Executives petition leadership over Wontumi’s alleged negligence

Six elected Ashanti Regional executives of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) have lodged a formal complaint against Regional Chairman Bernard Antwi Boasiako, known as ‘Chairman Wontumi.’

The petitioners include the 1st Regional Vice Chairman, 2nd Regional Vice Chairperson, Regional Assistant Secretary, Regional Treasurer, Regional Organizer, and Regional Youth Organizer.

I write on behalf of SIX ELECTED ASHANTI REGIONAL EXECUTIVES of the party to bring to your attention some disturbing issues relating to the performance of the Ashanti Regional Chairman of the NPP.

NEGLECT OF REGIONAL EXECUTIVES OVER PARTY ISSUES THAT NEED CONSENSUS.

The regional chairman always takes unilateral decisions without the involvement of the regional executives on matters bothering governance of the party in the region.

According to the Memo issued by the General Secretary dated 16th March, 2024, the regional party was to liaise with their respective team leaders to select date and venue for the inauguration of their various regional campaign coordinating teams but this never happened in our region but was unilaterally done by the chairman without the involvement and knowledge of the regional party .The regional chairman has failed to engage with regional executives on the formation of campaign committees.
