In a rare display of love and loyalty, market women and serial callers made a surprised move on Monday after paying for the nomination forms of the incumbent Ashanti Regional Chairman, Mr. Bernard Antwi Boasiako aka Chairman Wontumi.
The incident happened at the Regional Office of the party much to the surprise of Chairman Wontumi who least expected.
The decision by the market women and the serial callers to sponsor the second term bid of the incumbent Chairman was to express their appreciation for the immense contribution of the Regional Chairman towards the revamp of the party in the region.
Chairman Wontumi, who was humbled by the action, expressed his profound gratitude to the party loyalists and said he was motivated by their gesture.
According to him, he least expected the group to make such a surprised move, adding that their action has strengthened his resolve to fight for the grassroots and footsoldiers within the party.

Wontumi has been NPP's rescuer and a check on the behaviour of opponents in the Ashanti Region. His presence has halted all the vandalism that used to be the order of the day by the NDC thugs. It's only NDC or its affiliates that will want Wontumi out. He demonstrated his commitment and belief in the forward march of Nana Akufo Addo by throwing his support to him despite his long passion for Alan. His current opponent, Mr Asare Bediako, couldn't support Nana openly despite a clear wave of victory for Nana in the primaries. How can voters trust such a man apart from his poor connection to the youth in the region. It'll be suicidal for NPP to change Wontumi now.
i give you money, u use it to buy me a gift. whose money is it?
Wontumi's problem is that he does not respect the elderly and this is the time the party needs a matured person to manage the Party. The delegates will punish wontumi on the election day.
I am more humbled than Chairman Wontumi himself. To be frank, such a display of appreciation can only come from Ashanti. I am not Ashanti myself, but from the the time predating independence of Ghana to date the history of Ashanti is that of resolve and dedication. I am elated that they are showing the way in appreciating the work of the selfless and untiring chairman. This gesture also shows that people watch the move and action of everyone, especially politicians. Thank you market women and serial callers. Ashanti will shine and continue to lead the way in Ghana's democracy
