Ashanti Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Bernard Antwi Boasiako, popularly known as Chairman Wontumi, says the party is prepared to rally behind its elected presidential candidate to reconcile and unite ahead of the 2028 general elections.

He made the remarks after casting his ballot at the Manhyia South polling centre in the Ashanti Region.

In the final days of the campaign, the party witnessed pockets of tension, including personal attacks among some aspirants and their supporters, raising concerns about internal cohesion ahead of the 2028 polls.

However, Chairman Wontumi believes the party’s decision to elect a flagbearer early, while in opposition, will provide ample time to heal divisions, rebuild unity, and position the NPP to recapture power.

“We have voted for peace, and we have voted for the future of the NPP,” he said.

“The party has chosen its flagbearer for Ghana, and as delegates can see, the atmosphere is peaceful. Peace will prevail, and there will be victory.”

He added that the party is committed to supporting the eventual winner to restore harmony within its ranks.

“We are going to support him to bring peace into our party. That is the reason for holding early presidential primaries.

"This exercise was not meant to undermine the NPP’s constitution, but to strengthen the party and give us enough time to campaign effectively,” Chairman Wontumi stated.
