Paul Kwabena Yandoh, a New Patriotic Party (NPP) official, has spoken out about Chairman Wontumi's legal troubles. Yandoh is the NPP's Communications Director for the Ashanti Region.
He stated that Wontumi should still be allowed to run for the party's national chairmanship. This comes after Wontumi's conviction.
Yandoh believes the case against Wontumi is politically motivated. He feels this should not be a barrier to his election bid.
The conviction has raised questions about Wontumi's eligibility to hold party office.
Yandoh's comments suggest a division within the party regarding the impact of the conviction.
He urged party members not to let the conviction stop Wontumi from contesting the upcoming elections.
