Ashanti Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Bernard Antwi Boasiako, popularly known as Chairman Wontumi says the NDC Regional Chairmen who have endorsed the candidature of former President John Mahama were coerced to do so.
Chairman Wontumi claims to have concrete information of the move by the 10 regional Chairmen to make Mahama more popular than his rivals ahead of their flagbearership race.
Speaking on Neat FM’s morning show ‘Ghana Montie’, the NPP Chiarman noted that “Mahama has promised the regional chairmen to help them maintain their seats in their regional elections so in return they have to endorse him [Mahama] to win the flagbearership race as well.”
“I'm surprised why these Chairmen will take such a decision to single out the former President for this subtle endorsement when others have also expressed their interest to contest the race," he added.
Ten Regional Chairmen of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) have backed the candidature of John Dramani Mahama for election 2020, even before the latter announces his intention.
The ten regional Chairmen after a meeting on Thursday, November 9, 2017, with the former President, issued a communiqué in which they urged the former President to consider running for the 2020 polls.
The brief statement did not give further details as to why they were making the call.
They also urged him to embark on a “Thank you” tour of the country, although belated, to thank party loyalists for their support during the December 2016 polls.

Wontumi Kkwassiah Toh.
Think of NPP and leave NDC alone. Come what may Mahama will wrest power from your party come 2020
who is afraid of Mahama? we even want him to come back. so that we can finish him completely.
This Wuntumi guy koraaa what's his beef? Ah can't he chop his house matter small? You are in power so you think it's forever huh? You wait and see. Ebeye mu se ceni.
WHY IS IT THAT ANYTIME MAHAMA'S NAME IS MENTIONED AS CANDIDATE FOR 2020 THEN NPP IS GITTERING? THE FEAR THAT NAME MAHAMA. YOU (NPP)HOW YOU TOLD LIES TO COME TO POWER AND YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO MEASURE UP TO MAHAMA'S SOLID ACHIEVEMENTS IN GOVERNANCE. GHANAIANS HAVE GIVEN YOU (NPP) THE CHANCE TO RULE SO THAT THEY CAN COMPARE AND CONTRAST. YOU (NPP) WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO ACHIEVE MUCH AS MAHAMA DID AND SO YOU (NPP) ARE OPTING FOR A NEW CANDIDATE THAT HAS NO RECORDS TO COMPARE WITH WHEN AGENDA 2020 ARRIVES. BETTER SIT UP IN YOUR GOVERNANCE BECAUSE LIES WOULD NOT WORK COME AGENDA 2020. RECORDS OF ACHIEVEMENTS WOULD BE THE DECIDER, BEAR THAT IN MIND AND WAIT FOR JM FOR AGENDA 2020.
Why will Chairman Wontumi be worried about this developments. The truth need to be told. The NDC party will be in limbo, if Mahama still entertains the idea of being a president, somebody who was beating more than 1,000,000 votes as an incumbent. The truth is, he feels he has achieve the feet of Rawlings and can rock shoulders with him and that is very unwise as such the defeat. The real hardcore NDC guys have not raise their voices yet. If Mahama is the one, then that will be a very good news for NPP. What actually cynically NPP should be doing is to push this agenda, because the fact is Mahama is not fit to rule this nation with his idea of Leadership and Incompetence. Their best bet is Guzi Tano, if my spelling is right
***barred word*** toh* were you bribed when all your colleagues Regional Chairmen declared their unflinching for Nana Addo? Were you around when all nearly all the constituency executives in the country declared their support for Nana Addo? Where were you when the National Council, Executive Council and all the functional wings of the Party declared their support for Nana Addo? Selective amnesia" You threatened the lives of all those who declared their intentions of contesting the presidential primaries- including their supporters. Today Alan Kyremanteng has been cowed into perpetual submission and made to be following Nana Addo sheepishly. NPP would be described as the most peaceful party in the world if what is happening in NDC today was prevailing in their at that time. NDC regional executives, go and support Mahama. I am behind you.
***barred word*** full, were you there you seems to have known every thing in ghana
hahahahahaha why john mahama is rushing he remember these chairmen can be vote during regional and polling station election
I don't think it's anybody's business as to how the endorsement of the Ex-President was done by his party. Whether forced, coerced or bribed he has allegedly been endorsed. The party in power must be serious about fulfilling their mandate to the people of Ghana for people to realize the change they promised!
