Campaign manager for Kennedy Agyapong, Kwame Owusu, has expressed determination to oust Bernard Antwi Boasiako, popularly known as Chairman Wontumi, from his role as the party's Ashanti Regional Chairman in the upcoming elections.

During an interview on Akoma FM on October 16, 2023, Kwame Owusu emphasized that Chairman Wontumi's conduct indicates his inadequacy to lead the NPP within the region. He levied accusations against the Ashanti Regional chairman, asserting that his actions displayed bias in a position that mandates impartial treatment for all.

“We don’t want somebody who is biased… we are going to ensure that someone like Wontumi (is removed).

“We will campaign against him (Wontumi) because I don’t want a biased person in a position that requires fairness. How can we allow that to happen? We are saying that he (Wontumi) has not demonstrated what it takes to be a chairman of a region,” he said in Twi.

“I’m saying this from the standpoint of his behaviour. I’m not talking about any animosity between us. But if someone is a chairman in our party, he must act as one, he must remain neutral,” he clarified.

In addition, he said, they would fight to remove other party leaders who have behaved in a similar manner from office, in addition to the NPP Ashanti Regional Chairman.
