“God knows what is good for our
dear party” –
that was Chairman Wontumi's statement when Peacefmonline.com spoke to him about the
unexpected defeat of John Boadu as the General Secretary of the ruling New
Patriotic Party (NPP).
The Ashanti Regional Chairman was one individual who championed John Boadu’s
bid to be in office for the third term.
But John Boadu had a shock of his life when he was defeated by Justin Frimpong
Kodua (JFK) in their just-ended National Delegates Congress, held at the Accra
Sports Stadium.
Before the election, Chairman Wontumi was self-confident that John Boadu will
emerge the winner – he was captured in a video saying “John Boadu's position as
the General Secretary was non-negotiable. Any attempt to contest him will be a
waste of money.”
But now Chairman Wontumi who is equally shocked about the turnout of the
election has congratulated the newly- elected General Secretary and pledged to
lend his support in their quest to ‘Break The 8’.
“I supported JB but the
delegates in their wisdom chose you. We look forward to working hard so that
together we can 'Break The 8', may God bless you and once again congratulations
to you and the NPP for a successful election,” Chairman Wontumi told Peacefmonline.com in an interview.
