Ashanti Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Bernard Antwi Boasiako, popularly known as Chairman Wontumi, has sworn into office the newly elected Bantama Constituency Executive Committee and urged its members to unite the party ahead of the 2028 general elections.
Speaking during the swearing in ceremony on Tuesday morning, Chairman Wontumi congratulated the executives on their election and reminded them that winning the internal polls marked the beginning of their responsibilities.
He called on the executives to put aside differences that emerged during the constituency elections and work together to unite all members of the party in Bantama.
According to him, the NPP’s main goal is to secure victory in the 2028 general elections, adding that unity, discipline, loyalty and hard work should guide the activities of every executive.
Chairman Wontumi also authorised the constituency executives to appoint people to various appointed positions within the constituency.
However, he urged them to base those appointments on merit, loyalty, commitment and a genuine willingness to serve the party.
He encouraged the executives to select people who have consistently shown dedication to the NPP and are prepared to work hard and make personal sacrifices for the growth of the party.
Chairman Wontumi assured the newly elected executives of his continued support and said he would visit every constituency in the Ashanti Region to swear in newly elected executives as part of efforts to strengthen the party’s grassroots structures.
The Bantama Constituency executives, after taking the oath of office, thanked Chairman Wontumi for his leadership and pledged to remain united and work to rebuild and strengthen the NPP in the constituency ahead of the 2028 general elections.

President John Dramani Mahama today cut the sod for the construction of a 24-Hour Economy Model Market in Juapong, North Tongu District, marking the commencement of a transformative project aimed at boosting local commerce, creating sustainable jobs, and driving economic growth in the Volta Region.
The sod-cutting ceremony formed part of the President’s two-day ‘Resetting Ghana Tour’ of the Volta Region.
Addressing residents and stakeholders, President Mahama described the proposed facility as a modern economic centre designed to empower farmers, traders, entrepreneurs, and small businesses.
He noted that beyond serving as a marketplace, the project will provide critical infrastructure for storage, processing, packaging, distribution, digital commerce, and access to financial services.
The President reaffirmed Government’s commitment to accelerating development across the Volta Region through strategic investments in roads, healthcare, education, agriculture, transport, markets, and agro-industrial initiatives.
He highlighted Juapong’s strategic location and economic potential, indicating that the town is well-positioned to emerge as a key commercial and industrial destination within the region.
As part of the flagship 24-Hour Economy programme, the Juapong Model Market will be among the largest facilities under the initiative.
The project has been designated as a Category Four Market, the highest classification within the programme, reflecting its significance to the region’s economic transformation.
Broadcast journalist and aspiring National Democratic Congress (NDC) parliamentary candidate for Gomoa West, Blessed Godsbrain Smart, popularly known as Captain Smart, has pledged to embark on major infrastructure development if elected to represent the constituency in Parliament.
Speaking on Onua TV platform, Captain Smart said his priority would be to transform Gomoa West through extensive development projects.
“I will turn the constituency into a construction site,” he declared, stressing his commitment to improving infrastructure across the area.
Although much of his remarks focused on rallying supporters in local languages, he repeatedly assured residents that they would witness significant development under his leadership.
Captain Smart also urged party supporters to remain united and actively participate in the party’s internal activities ahead of the parliamentary primaries.
He expressed confidence in his bid and promised to work hard to improve the lives of people in Gomoa West if given the opportunity to serve as their parliamentary candidate.
