A/R: NPP Chairmanship position, Ben Ephson hints 2 things that may affect Wontumi’s bid to be retained.

Pollster Ben Ephson has revealed two things that may affect the chances of the current Ashanti Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Bernard Antwi Boasiako known widely as Chairman Wontumi at the party’s delegates’ conference three weeks away.

Chairman Wontumi who touts himself as the best man to ‘Break the 8’ for the NPP is seeking reelection for the third time amidst stiffer opposition from about three other contenders including Odeneho Kwaku Appiah, Mr. Asare Bediako and one other.

Ben Ephson while giving an analysis based on his recent research about the chances of aspirants in the region indicated that it going to be a tough one.

He indicated that the NPP could lose the Region to the opposition NDC if Wontumi is retained based on his findings.

“Don’t underestimate the political sense of the delegates. They are very sophisticated now and are fully aware of the happenings in the region. The ones I spoke to in conducting this research listed a number of ineffectual activities of Wontumi of which they contend that the party will lose the 2024 elections to the NDC in the region if he (Wontumi) is given the nod again.”

On the second reason which will affect Wontumi, he revealed “The voice of the delegates is clear on this one. They mentioned that a Chairman who can’t take personal initiatives to raise funds to put a befitting party building is not one that can come up with a master plan to win a general election for the party”
