Some leaders in the Ashanti Kingdom have proposed that Otumfuo Osei Tutu, the King, should impose a ban on the New Patriotic Party's campaign activities in the Ashanti Region until Chairman Wontumi is produced.

In addition to the proposed ban, they are urging the Chief of Bantama to shut down Chairman Wontumi's media entity.

The leaders argue that the Ashanti Region has been a stronghold for the ruling NPP, and they feel disrespected by the actions of Chairman Wontumi.

"For me, I advocate for the Bantamahene to close down his radio station. Furthermore, I strongly believe that it is imperative to bar the NPP from campaigning in the Ashanti Region unless they present Wontumi.

They should not be permitted to display any campaign material in the Ashanti Region until they produce him," expressed one leader during a meeting between party executives and the Chiefs of the Ashanti Kingdom.

Chairman Wontumi has faced severe criticism for allegedly making derogatory remarks about the King of the Ashanti Kingdom during the political party’s parliamentary vetting.

Originally scheduled to meet with Manhyia on Monday, January 22, 2024, he was unable to attend due to health reasons. The Chiefs have now set a deadline of Monday, January 29, 2024, for his appearance before them.
