The Ashanti Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Bernard Antwi-Boasiako still believes that the suspended General Secretary of the ‘Elephant’ party, Mr. Kwabena Agyei Agyapong is not a changed person to rejoin the ruling party.
He was emphatic on NEAT FM’s morning show dubbed ‘Ghana Montie’ that; Mr. Agyapong must be 'born-again' before he will be accepted in the party.
“We can't just accept him; we must see some changes in his attitude towards the party. Agyapong must do something to win the hearts of the people again,” he said.
Wontumi's comments comes after some constituency and polling station executives of the governing NPP, in the Brong Ahafo Region petitioned the party’s hierarchy for the reinstatement of Kwabena Agyei Agyapong.
The petitioners contend that, Mr. Agyei Agyapong’s conduct towards the party even after his indefinite suspension in 2015 manifests an unwavering loyalty, which must be commended.
The NPP then in opposition suspended its 2nd Vice Chairman, Sammy Crabbe, alongside Mr. Agyapong in 2015, after they were accused of publicly rebelling against the party’s decision to indefinitely suspend its National Chairman, Paul Afoko.
Mr. Afoko and Mr. Crabbe, later filed a suit over their suspension, but both suits were thrown out by the court - unlike the two, Mr. Agyepong, did not seek a legal action.
Despite the suspension, Mr. Agyapong has been sighted several times at NPP gatherings, most recently at the party’s national delegates conference in Cape Coast in the Central Region in August.
These constituency polling station executives also say the suspended General Secretary remains a resource to the party.
But Bernard Antwi-Boasiako wants Mr. Agyapong to apologize to the party and pick up a good behavior before he’ll be reinstated.

I strongly agree with the group. This man has really shown beyond any reasonable doubt that he holds nothing against the party! I really admire his attitude after his suspension. Unlike Afoko and Crabe, who were bent at destroying the party's fortunes in the elections. But the question is , will it be politically sound for him to be reinstated alone when the perception out there is already that the party belongs to a particular group of people which Afoko and Crabe fall outside this group.
It will be a BIG mistake if Kwabena Agyepoong is entertained any where near any position within the NPP; this is a man with other well known individuals including J Kuffour were hoping NPP never came to power ; Kwabena Agyepong was a secretary to Kuffour and therefore guess who is behind the push to get this traitor back ; what happens to the other people like Afoko ; Sammy Crabbe and others ; the party should never make such silly MISTAKE AGAIN !!!!!
Chairman Wontumi, you are my hero. We do not need either Kwabena or Afoko. As you rightly said, their wish was for NPP to loose the elections but Allah is greater than human. Chairman, indeed you worked very hard and i believe the people of Ashanti region will retain you because you are one of the pillars of NPP. May Allah bless Chairman one and may Allah bless Ghana.Ameen.
I don't think Kwabena Agyapong is needed in the party now. He must be ostracized for as long as possible. He cannot be in the party as long as Nana Addo remains the president. He can reapply to the party when NPP finishes the 8yrs
