New Patriotic Party (NPP) National Chairman aspirant, Chairman Wontumi, has secured another major endorsement from one of the New Patriotic Party’s respected elders, Stanley Nii Adjiri Blankson, former Mayor of Accra, former Member of the Council of State, and current member of the NPP National Council.

During a meeting held in Accra on Tuesday May 26, 2026, Chairman Wontumi reflected on his political journey, the challenges he has faced, and his commitment to the party.

He stressed that his grassroots connection remains the foundation of his bid for the position of National Chairman.

“Winning elections is a collective effort, not a one-man task. I come from the grassroots and I understand their concerns, sacrifices, and expectations. Political victory is not about titles or certificates; it is about understanding and connecting with the grassroots, and no one understands them better than I do. My mission is to get the job done,” he said.

Responding, Blankson offered strong words of endorsement, encouragement, and fatherly counsel.

“I have been in politics for a very long time, and Wontumi has remained loyal and dedicated to the party. God will reward you. Listen to advice. You are my son, and I am your father,” he stated.

He further added, “I am going to rely on you, Wontumi. He is my son, and I deeply love him. We will work hard to ensure he wins. I am happy about your loyalty and commitment to Dr. Bawumia. Your words this afternoon have deeply touched me.”

Chairman Wontumi, in response, described Hon. Blankson as “one of the few remaining revered elders of the NPP,” adding that the former mayor had entrusted him with the responsibility of helping the party reclaim lost ground in Greater Accra and across the country.

“Hon Blankson is entrusting Greater Accra into my hands so we can reclaim all lost seats not only in the Ashanti Region, but across every region of Ghana,” he said.

Outlining his vision for the party, Wontumi pledged to work tirelessly to secure victory for the NPP in 2028.

“I will work hard to ensure that Dr Mahamudu Bawumia becomes the next President of Ghana. I will be a National Chairman for all 276 constituencies and all 16 regions. I will descend into the trenches, work hand in hand with the grassroots, and lead the party back to victory in 2028,” he assured.

The visit forms part of his ongoing stakeholder engagements, which have included meetings with former President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, former Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia and former NPP National Chairman Freddie Blay, among others.

Chairman Wontumi concluded by expressing gratitude to Stanley Nii Adjiri Blankson for his endorsement, guidance, and blessings.
