The Ashanti Regional Chairman for the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Mr. Bernard Antwi-Boasiako, is predicting that the National Democratic Congress (NDC) could be counting “houseflies” not “votes” if they stick to presenting a “dead goat” as their flagbearer for the 2024 elections.
Mr. Bernard Antwi-Boasiako popularly known as Chairman Wontumi stated in an interview with Wontumionline.com that current global issues and its dire effect on economies would not make room for a “dead goat” to be elected as “Commander-in-chief of the Ghana Armed Forces.”
“Not even a fool would elect a dead goat infested with worms worth attracting only houseflies as the Commander-in-chief of the Ghana Armed Forces. I will be surprised if the NDC delegates nominate a dead goat to lead them. Even if it happens in the NDC, majority of Ghanaians would reject their nominee at the polls in 2024”, Chairman Wontumi said.
