Chairman Wontumi visits NPP leadership after EOCO release

Bernard Antwi Boasiako, known as Chairman Wontumi, is the Ashanti Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP). He recently visited the party's national leadership in Accra. This visit came after his release by the Economic and Organised Crime Office on June 2.

Wontumi was arrested on May 27 and released on a GHS50 million bail. He is under investigation for alleged fraud, financial loss to the state, and money laundering. Despite these allegations, he has received support from many NPP members, including national executives.

On Tuesday morning, Wontumi went to the party’s headquarters to thank them for their support. He was welcomed by General Secretary Justin Kodua and cheered by party supporters.
