By calling off the 17th December Referendum, it translates into more years in opposition for the National Democratic Congress, the Ashanti Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party has said.
Mr. Bernard Antwi-Boasiako claims that the NPP multiplied their stay in power by having a visionary leader who saw the essence in calling off the intended Referendum.
According to Mr. Antwi-Boasiako popularly known as Chairman Wontumi, President Akufo-Addo’s decision to call off the exercise is perfect and positions the NPP as a party that listens to the general concerns of Ghanaians.
“I am grateful President Akufo-Addo in his wisdom called off the 17th December Referendum. The decision means that the NDC would spend more years in opposition and the NPP would stay in power for more years”, Chairman Wontumi said.
The President of the Republic, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, has called off the holding of the Referendum of 17th December, 2019, citing the lack of a broad, national consensus amongst key stakeholders and the populace.
President Akufo-Addo has, thus, instructed the Minister for Local Government and Rural Development, Hon. Hajia Alima Mahama, MP, who is spearheading the process, on behalf of government, to abort the process, and see to the withdrawal of the bills for the amendment of the Constitution, both in respect of article 243(1) and article 55(3).
Addressing the nation on Sunday, 1st December, 2019, the President indicated the attainment of a broad consensus, for him, on a matter as important as the amendment of an entrenched provision of the Constitution, is critical.
“I do not believe that such an amendment should be driven as a party matter. There has to be a clear national consensus and agreement amongst the populace that a particular entrenched provision no longer serves the interest of the people, and, thus, has to be removed,” he said.

So u see, Ur behavior is shows how school andfor that matter from class 1 to 6. is very important. i dont think a primary school person will give this understanding u gave. NPP. oooooo noo. its a shame.
I WONDERED YESTERDAY WHY THE MOTION TO ELECT MMDCEs SHOULD BE WITHDRAWN TOGETHER WITH THE REFERENDUM TO DECIDE WHETHER POLITICAL PARTIES SHOULD BE INVOLVED IN THE LOCAL LEVEL ELECTIONS. THE TWO ISSUES ARE NOT THE SAME. I WAS ANGRY FOR THE MMDCEs ELECTION MOTION TO BE WITHDRAWN. UPON SECOND THOUGHT I SEEM TO AGREE WITH THE PRESIDENT. THE TWO PROVISIONS ARE NOT THE SAME AND ONE DOES NOT DEPEND ON THE OTHER, YET LIKE THE REFERENDUM THE NPP GOVERNMENT NEED NDC IN PARLIAMENT TO SUPPORT THE MOTION FOR THE AMENDMENT. THE DECEPTION OF NDC TO ATTACK THE REFERENDUM MAKES IT DIFFICULT FOR THEM TO BE TRUSTED TO SUPPORT THE MOTION AS WELL. THE NPP GOVERNMENT CANNOT RELY ON NDC TO SUPPORT THE AMENDMENT MOTION TO ELECT THE MMDEs. THE SABOTAGE OF THE REFERENDUM REVEALS MUCH ABOUT NDC. FIRST NDC DID NOT LIKE CREATING OF SIX NEW REGIONS. THEY PRETENDED TO SUPPORT IT JUST FOR POLITICAL CONVENIENCE. THEY COULD NOT OPENLY OBJECT THE NEW REGIONS BECAUSE THEY COULD NOT RESIST THE EXCITEMENT OF THE CITIZENS FROM THE NEW REGIONS. SO NOW IF GHANAIANS WANT TO ELECT THEIR MMDCES THEN THEY SHOULD VOTE NDC OUT OF PARLIAMENT IN 2020. WE NEED MORE THAN TWO-THIRDS MAJORITY OF NPP MPs IN 2020 SO THAT THEY CAN GET MORE THAT THE NEEDED TWO-THIRDS MAJORITY IN PARLIAMENT TO PASS SUCH EMOTIONS.
Chairman Wontumi talks like a serial caller.NPP will lose 2020
Does this guy think at all before talking?. He doesn't make any sense when ever he opens his mouth.
Kurasenyi! Atsetsekwaa! Always opens his mouth and say anything. Instead of finding better ways of preventing an impending staring you in the face he goes around misbehaving.
