Dr S K Nuamah, a former Member of Parliament (MP) for Kwadaso on the ticket of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has made explosive allegations detailing how he was forced out of his seat in what he describes as a politically orchestrated scheme spearheaded by party leadership in the Ashanti Region.
Dr Nuamah accused the Ashanti Regional Chairman of the NPP, Bernard Antwi Boasiako, popularly known as Chairman Wontumi, of masterminding his removal.
According to the former MP, Chairman Wontumi explicitly told him he was under instructions to ensure he [Nuamah] was removed as parliamentary candidate. "Our chairman Wontumi told me, right in front of me, that they said he should unseat me, so he will make sure he does," Dr Nuamah stated in an interview on Oyerepa TV on June 3, 2025.
He recounted how he was instructed to apologise to then Minister of Food and Agriculture, Dr Owusu Afriyie Akoto, without being told the reason for the apology. "He was like I should go and apologise to Afriyie Akoto, and I didn't even know my offence," Nuamah said, suggesting that his refusal to comply may have contributed to his political downfall.
