The conviction of Bernard Antwi Boasiako, the Ashanti Regional Chairman for the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has deeply affected the party. This statement comes from Nana Agyei Baffour Awuah, the Member of Parliament for Manhyia South.
Mr. Awuah described Chairman Wontumi as a very important person within the NPP. He believes Wontumi's influence makes the recent court decision a heavy blow to the party's standing.
The MP did not specify the exact nature of the conviction. However, he emphasized the significant role Wontumi plays in the Ashanti Region, a key area for the NPP.
The court's decision has caused distress among NPP supporters. Many see Wontumi as a central figure whose absence will be felt.
The full impact of this conviction on the party's future activities and morale is yet to be fully seen.
Further details regarding the legal proceedings and the specific charges leading to the conviction have not been provided.
