John Boadu, former General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), expressed support for Bernard Antwi-Boasiako (Chairman Wontumi) on July 22 following his conviction and 20-year prison sentence over illegal mining activities. Mr. Boadu described Chairman Wontumi as a "political prisoner" and urged NPP members to remain united and law-abiding as the party pursues legal avenues to challenge the High Court's decision.
