The Ashanti Regional Chairman of the NPP, Bernard Antwi Boasiako, popularly known as Chairman Wontumi, has accused former President Mahama of being behind Independent Parliamentary Candidates in the Ashanti Region.

Addressing a charged crowd in Bekwai Tuesday morning, Wontumi made specific reference to a parliamentary candidate in Bekwai, whom he said is being sponsored by Mahama to reduce the NPP's votes, but warned that all such candidates will fail miserably. "There is a man in this area going round pretending to be NPP.

He has NPP colours on his posters and he goes around pretending to be NPP.

He is not.
