The Ashanti Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Bernard Antwi Boasiako, has called on ex-President Jerry John Rawlings to advise former President John Mahama not to run for president again.
Mr. Boasiako, popularly called ‘Wontumi,’ has vowed not to allow Mr. Mahama to make a comeback.
He stated that legally Mr. Mahama completed two terms as president and should not be permitted to contest for the position again in 2020.
Wontumi insisted that Mr. Mahama’s 2020 presidential ambition is illegal per the constitution.
The Ashanti Regional NPP chairman, therefore, appealed to NDC’s founder, Jerry John Rawlings, to stop Mr. Mahama from breaching the law.
Wontumi also entreated the judiciary and the legislature to critically study the law and declare the bid of Mr. Mahama as illegal.
Mr. Mahama and the National Democratic Congress (NDC) suffered a humiliating defeat in 2016 at the hands of the NPP.
Wontumi strongly argued that legally Mr. Mahama doesn’t qualify to contest for the president of the country and must be stopped now.
“I don’t have any malicious agenda against Mr. Mahama but the right thing must be done.”
According to him, the constitution states that presidents of the country can only be in office for two terms and so Mr. Mahama doesn’t qualify.
He argued that Mr. Mahama completed the term of late President Mills and subsequently won elections in 2012.
Wontumi cited Article 66 Clause (3b) of the 1992 constitution to buttress his claim that Mr. Mahama would breach the law if he vie for the position again.
“Article 66 (3b) states that Mr. Mahama completed President Mills’ term when he died, and so Mr. Mahama has also completed his two terms.”
Wontumi said he had written an open letter to the legislature and the judiciary, as well as ex-President Rawlings, to urge Mr. Mahama to do the right thing.
“Mr. Mahama has been enjoying all the benefits of an ex-president ever since he completed his two terms and I will urge him to continue to do so peacefully.”

BUT HEAVENS THEMSELVES BLAIZE FORTH THE DEATH OF PRINCES" THIS IS WHAT IS HAPPENING IN GHANA TODAY. JOHN AS THE PRINCE IN THIS CASE IS MAKING THINGS DIFFICULT FOR NANA AND HIS PERSONAL PROPERTY, THE NPP, IN HIS BID TO STAGE A COMEBACK. THE NPP IS M*AD BECAUSE THEY CANNOT MUCH JOHN MAHAMA'S PERFORMANCE IN GOVERNMENT. THE NPP HAS WOKEN-UP TO THE REALITIES ON THE GROUND AND HAVE REALISED THAT THE 2016 LIES WOULD NOT WORK TODAY AND BEYOND. PRESIDENT JOHN F. KENNEDY OF THE UNITED STATES ONCE SAID AND I QUOTE: YOU CAN F*OOL ALL OF THE PEOPLE, SOME OF THE TIME, SOME OF THE PEOPLE ALL OF THE TIME BUT NOT ALL OF THE PEOPLE ALL OF THE TIME. UNQUOTE. THEREFORE NPP BEWARE OF YOUR ANTIQUES AS THEY HAVE OUTLIVED THEIR USEFULNESS. THE DAY OF THE JACKAL IS COMING AND IT IS NEAR.

This guy is really a ***barred word***. How on earth did such a person become the Chairman of NPP in Ashanti Region? Then the 2016 elections should also be declared null and void coz the current President won against an illegal candidate in that elections.
