The Ashanti Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Bernard Antwi Bosiako, popularly known as Chairman Wontumi, has urged party members to base their choices in the upcoming primaries on a candidate’s ability to win power in 2028, rather than on personal relationships or family ties.
The NPP is expected to go to the polls in two weeks to elect a flagbearer who will lead the party into the 2028 general election.
Chairman Wontumi made the remarks during Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia’s campaign tour of the Ejura Sekyedumase Constituency on Saturday, January 17.
He stressed that Dr. Bawumia stands out among the contenders as the candidate best positioned to lead the party to electoral victory.
According to him, winning political power should be the overriding consideration for delegates as they prepare to cast their votes.
“If it is power that we want, then it shouldn’t be about the relationships we have with people, but about the person who can help us win the 2028 election,” he said.
