Embattled Ashanti Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Bernard Antwi Boasiako—widely known as Chairman Wontumi—has visited the party’s national leadership in Accra following his release by the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO).
Chairman Wontumi was granted bail on Monday, June 2, set at GHS50 million, after his arrest on Tuesday, May 27. He is currently under investigation for multiple charges, including fraud, causing financial loss to the state, and money laundering.
Despite the serious allegations, Wontumi has continued to receive strong backing from members of the NPP, including top national executives.
On Tuesday morning, he paid a courtesy call to the party’s headquarters to personally thank the leadership for their support. He was warmly received by NPP General Secretary Justin Kodua and greeted with cheers from enthusiastic party supporters.
