Court to hear Wontumi’s bail application today
The Accra High Court is expected to hear an application for bail by former New Patriotic Party (NPP) Ashanti Regional Chairman, Bernard Antwi Boasiako, popularly known as Chairman Wontumi, on Thursday, October 15, 2026.
The application was originally scheduled for hearing on August 19, but the proceedings were postponed after both Mr Boasiako and his lead counsel, Samuel Atta Akyea, failed to appear in court.
The court is expected to consider the arguments from both sides in determining whether he should be granted bail pending the outcome of his appeal.
