The campaign team of Bernard Antwi Boasiako, popularly known as Chairman Wontumi, has condemned what it describes as a series of insults and personal attacks circulating on social media amid ongoing internal campaigns within the New Patriotic Party (NPP).
In a statement issued on May 18, 2026, Team Wontumi said it had taken notice of several TikTok videos allegedly published by a user identified as “Boya,” in which members of the campaign management team were subjected to what it described as unwarranted insults and attacks.
“The attention of Team Wontumi has been drawn to a series of unfortunate videos circulating on TikTok by a lady known as ‘Boya,’ in which several respected members of our campaign management team have been subjected to unwarranted insults and personal attacks,” the statement said.
The campaign suggested that the online activities and affiliations of the individual involved made her political preference within the ongoing NPP chairmanship race clear to many observers.
Despite the attacks, the team stressed its commitment to maintaining an issue-based campaign focused on ideas, competence, vision and party unity rather than insults or character assassination.
“It is still early days in this internal campaign season, and Team Wontumi remains firmly committed to a campaign based on ideas, vision, competence and party unity, not insults, intimidation or needless character assassination,” the statement noted.
The campaign also appealed to party supporters and the general public to ignore the videos and avoid actions that could deepen divisions within the party.
“We therefore urge the general public and party faithful to disregard the contents of these unfortunate videos and reject attempts to introduce hostility and division into our internal democratic processes,” it added.
Team Wontumi further called on rival campaign groups to caution their supporters against engaging in personal attacks, warning that such conduct could harm party cohesion ahead of the 2028 general elections.
“We cannot afford to destroy one another today and expect to build a united front tomorrow,” the statement cautioned.
Reaffirming its position, the campaign described itself as a broad-based movement attracting support from different factions within the NPP, which it said reflects the values of inclusion and reconciliation.
“Our team remains focused, resolute and fully committed to engaging delegates respectfully and democratically as we continue our quest to convince the overwhelming majority of delegates to support the candidacy of Chairman Wontumi,” the statement concluded.
Chairman Wontumi, currently the Ashanti Regional Chairman of the NPP, is seeking to become the party’s national chairman.
