Chairman Wontumi, as he is popularly called, conceded that they made some mistakes while they were in power from 2021 to 2025.
In a video on X, the Ashanti Regional Chairman promised that if he is elected as National Chairman of the NPP and they win the 2028 general elections, he would ensure that they do better.
"In 2024, we were in power. In 2026, we are in opposition. Today, you can't find those who were appointed to offices while we were in power. It now looks like the party belongs to the regional executives, constituency chairmen and their executives."
"Those who got appointments are nowhere to be found. We made grave mistakes, but if we win power again in 2028 we will not commit such blunders again," he added.

Wontumi urges voters to ignore his bad English
Earlier, YEN.com.gh reported that the Chairman Wontumi urged delegates to prioritise competence over his struggles with the English language.
Addressing regional executives of the party in the Western Region, Boasiako said the 2028 general election would be a battle that demands tested leadership rather than educational titles of interested candidates.
According to the outspoken NPP member, he believes the party needs a national chairman ready to brawl in opposition hence his decision to contest.
“This election is not for the books, it is for those who are tried and tested as grassroots working men, people who are popular and ready to work tirelessly for victory.”
He pledged not to compromise on strategies that would enhance the party’s electoral appeal ahead of 2028.
“As National Chairman, my work will be in the constituencies. The General Secretary will manage affairs at the headquarters, but my focus will be on the ground, mobilising every possible vote for victory in 2028."
