Mahdi Jibril, the Deputy Director of Elections for the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has stated that if the John Mahama-led NDC government fails to prosecute the Ashanti Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Bernard Antwi Boasiako, popularly known as Chairman Wontumi, the NDC will struggle to mount an effective campaign in the 2028 elections.
Speaking on Onua FM on Tuesday, May 27, 2025, Mahdi Jibril said the government is determined to make an example of Wontumi to demonstrate how it will deal with individuals who receive government contracts but fail to deliver. "Wontumi and the NPP should expect more arrests.
For me, I expect more because this is just the beginning.
If we are not able to thoroughly investigate and prosecute Wontumi, our campaign in the Ashanti Region will not be effective.
