On April 29, 2025, the New Patriotic Party (NPP) kicked off its National Thank You Tour in the Ashanti Region, beginning at Abuakwa and later holding a second meeting at Bantama.

This gathering brought together delegates and supporters from various constituencies within the Kumasi Metropolitan Area, including Manhyia South, Bantama, and Oforikrom, among others.

The event was marked by high energy and overwhelming support, with party faithfuls turning out in large numbers to show solidarity with leading figures of the party.

However, the enthusiasm was marred by an unfortunate incident.
