Ashanti Regional Chairman of the NPP, Bernard Antwi Boasiko, popularly known as Chairman Wontumi, has withdrawn a motion seeking a review of his bail conditions.

The motion, which was filed at the High Court in Accra on 30 May 2025, had been scheduled for hearing on Tuesday, 3 June.

However, the legal team formally withdrew the application on Monday, 2 June, ahead of the hearing.

Chairman Wuntomi had challenged the GH¢50 million bail imposed by the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO), arguing through his lawyers that the amount was excessive and appeared designed to hinder his release.

The application had called on the court to revise the bail terms, citing grounds outlined in an accompanying affidavit.

The application to withdraw was filed by private legal practitioner Gary Nimako on behalf of the embattled NPP regional chairman.

Meanwhile, lead counsel Andy Appiah-Kubi has confirmed that all the necessary documentation for the two justified sureties has now been completed.

He noted that this progress, which has rendered the court application unnecessary, was made possible with considerable assistance from former Minister for Food and Agriculture, Bryan Acheampong.
