Ashanti Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Bernard Antwi Boasiako, popularly known as Wontumi, has congratulated the former Vice President of Ghana, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, on his victory in the party\u2019s recent flagbearer election, describing the outcome as a sign of the party\u2019s enduring democratic strength.<\/p>\n

In a statement issued after the internal contest, Mr Boasiako acknowledged that the period following the 2024 general elections had been challenging for the party but said the flagbearer race had demonstrated the NPP\u2019s resilience and unity.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis process has shown that the NPP remains a strong, democratic and united political family, capable of reorganising and preparing for the future,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The Ashanti Regional Chairman stressed that the party must now focus on rebuilding and reconnecting with its grassroots support base to regain public confidence.<\/p>\n

According to him, \u201cThe work ahead of us is clear. We must rebuild, reconnect with our base, and restore the confidence of the Ghanaian people,\u201d adding that the task would require \u201chonesty, hard work, discipline and, above all, unity.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mr Boasiako said his support for the flagbearer process was driven by the belief that the party\u2019s collective interest must always come before personal ambitions.<\/p>\n

\u201cNow is not the time for blame or internal divisions. Now is the time to close ranks and focus on winning again in 2028,\u201d he noted, while calling on party members across all regions to rally behind Dr Bawumia.<\/p>\n

He reaffirmed his personal commitment to strengthening the party ahead of the next general elections, saying, \u201cWe may have lost in 2024, but we have not lost our spirit, our values, or our belief in Ghana. The NPP will rise again \u2013 together,\u201d and concluded with blessings for the party, Ghana\u2019s democracy and the nation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
