“He has done it before and we know when he is re-elected he will contribute to the party’s agenda to break the 8 ahead of the 2024 polls”, Aikins said as he presented a cheque of ₵70,000 to Wontumi who was present during the brief ceremony.

“Some 5000 branded T-shirts have also been printed to support the course”, he added.

No need to change a winning team

Reacting to the gesture, Wontumi who was a former leader of the NPP in that constituency implored delegates to retain the current regional executives ahead of the crucial elections in the party’s stronghold.

“This election is not just about becoming a regional executive. It is about leading the party tow in a third consecutive term, for the first time under the Fourth Republic”, he said.

He warned his supporters and candidates to kick against politics of insults ahead of the upcoming regional election.
