The Ashanti Regional Chairman of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), Bernard Antwi Boasiako also known as Chairman Wontumi has said the National Chairman and General Secretary of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) helped the NPP to win the 2016 general elections.
According to him, the duo deserve some rewards for contributing to their victory.

"Kofi Portuphy and Asiedu Nketia deserve some rewards because what they were supposed to do they did not do leading to the victory of the NPP. Money they were supposed to do to benefit Ghanaians did they did not do which led to the victory of the party .I am one of the three persons who worked tirelessly for the party’s victory so I have a big say in the party," he said.
Reacting to calls by some supporters of the NPP calling on the Executives of the party to reinstate suspended General Secretary Kwabena Agyapong, he said it would be better to allow Kofi Portuphy and Asiedu Nketia to lead the NPP than to allow Agyapong return to his position.

He added that "These people helped us to win power so it will be better we allow them to join so we can even give them cabinet positions than allow Kwabena Agyapong. He was among those who did not want the party to win in 2016. Once I have spoken, it is enough and there is no challenger. Kwabena Agyapong will not come back to his position…..take it or leave it."
