Bernard Antwi Boasiako aka Wontumi looks certain to retain his seat as the Ashanti regional chairman of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP).
This follows the decision of his only challenger for the top party seat in the region, Asare Bediako (former Asokwa Constituency chairman), to bow out of the race.
Resignation Letter
In his resignation letter, which DAILY GUIDE has sighted, Mr. Bediako stated that he was no longer contesting for the enviable party position.
