Wontumi would have been suspended in NDC over attacks on party leadership - Mustapha Gbande
Mustapha Gbande, Deputy General Secretary of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), stated on Thursday, July 16, on Citi FM, that the Ashanti Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Bernard Antwi Boasiako (Chairman Wontumi), would have been suspended if he had publicly criticised his party's national leadership while serving in the NDC. This follows Chairman Wontumi's public allegations that the NPP's General Secretary, Justin Kodua Frimpong, and Acting National Chairman, Danquah Smith Buttey, were attempting to frustrate his bid to become the party's next National Chairman.
The dispute arose after the NPP's national leadership annulled the results of three constituency executive elections in the Ashanti Region and directed regional executives to explain the circumstances. Chairman Wontumi openly opposed this decision, accusing the party's leadership of acting unfairly. Mr. Gbande argued that such public attacks reflected indiscipline and undermined established party structures, stating, "What is happening to them can happen to us, but the difference is the nature of the system that runs the political party." He maintained that political organisations function effectively when members respect internal processes and abide by leadership decisions.
