Chairman Wontumi Declares 2028 Election Victory for Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia in Tarkwa | Discuss Ghana

The Ashanti Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Bernard Antwi Boasiako, universally known as Chairman Wontumi, has launched a highly defiant grassroots mobilization campaign, declaring that no political machinery can block Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia from winning the 2028 presidential election.

Addressing a high-energy gathering of party faithful, polling station executives, and constituency leaders in Tarkwa in the Western Region, the firebrand political operative reviewed the party’s narrow, heavily contested loss in the 2024 elections. Rebranding that electoral defeat as a temporary operational delay rather than a definitive defeat, Wontumi insisted that the structural lessons learned have primed the NPP to break the newly established National Democratic Congress (NDC) governance cycle.

Rebuilding the Blue Wave from the Grassroots

Wontumi’s aggressive rhetoric in Tarkwa outlines a sharp, confrontational campaign strategy designed to re-energize a fractured base:

Dismissing the 2024 Setback: The controversial regional chairman did not mince words when addressing the previous election cycle. "Election 2024 they delayed us, but in election 2028 they cannot stop Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia from becoming President of Ghana," he fired back, rallying the crowd into a roaring chant.

The Blueprint for Uncompromising Unity: Acknowledging the internal friction and voter apathy that hurt the party’s previous parliamentary numbers, Wontumi stated that his tour is strictly focused on reconciliation. He urged localized factions to completely drop their grievances, warning that internal disputes are the only real weapon the opposition can use against them.

Anchored in the Western Belt: Choosing Tarkwa—a heavy mining and economic hub—to deliver this fiery ultimatum was highly tactical. The Western Region remains a vital, must-win swing territory for the NPP’s 2028 calculations, making early organizational dominance there essential to securing a national victory.
