‘I supported NPP with GH₵1 Billion in 2014 for the Tamale Congress’ – Chairman Wontumi

The Ashanti Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Chairman Wontumi, has claimed that he funded the party’s congress held in Tamale in the Northern Region with GH₵1 billion in 2014.

According to the outspoken politician and businessman, he has always been selfless and remains committed to supporting the party both financially and through other means to ensure the NPP wins the 2028 elections.

Chairman Wontumi, who has declared his intention to contest for the National Chairman position of the party, made this statement during an interview on his media outlet, Wontumi TV, on Thursday, May 15. He stated that his generous contributions to the party are well documented and beyond doubt, adding that he has always supported the party without expecting any rewards.

“If Jake Obetsebi Lamptey were alive, he would have led my campaign. When I was the Bosomtwe Constituency Chairman, I supported both my constituency and the regional party. I also sent money to the national office every month because, at the time, we were in opposition.

“In 2014, I contributed funds at the national level for the Tamale Congress that elected Chairman Afoko and Kwabena Agyepong as National Chairman and General Secretary, respectively. After organizing the Ashanti Regional Congress, I donated GH₵1 billion from the remaining funds to the party. This is something I do regularly—I am a very selfless person.”

He also shared how he personally rented an office building for the regional party for 10 years and later secured a permanent office for them.

Chairman Wontumi further expressed his gratitude to the NPP for the popularity he has gained over the years through his service as Regional Chairman.
