The New Patriotic Party (NPP) presidential candidate, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, has led a delegation of senior party officials to visit the party's Ashanti Regional Chairman, Bernard Antwi-Boasiako, popularly known as Chairman Wontumi, at the Nsawam Medium Security Prison in the Eastern Region.
Among those who accompanied Dr Bawumia were former National Chairman Freddie Blay, Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin, the Member of Parliament for Mampong, Kwaku Ampratwum-Sarpong, and other leading figures of the party.
The visit follows Chairman Wontumi's recent conviction and 20-year prison sentence with hard labour in connection with illegal mining-related offences.
Security at the prison was heightened as the NPP delegation arrived to meet the incarcerated regional chairman. Although Wontumi appeared composed during the visit, he showed visible signs of stress.
The NPP has continued to rally behind its Ashanti Regional Chairman, with party leaders maintaining that his legal team will challenge the conviction through the appellate courts.
