It appears Mr. Bernard Antwi Boasiako aka Chairman Wontumi will have a keen battle this time around as group calling itself United Patriots (UP) are mouting pressure on businessman Dr. Boris Baidoo popularly called Boris B to contest the Regional Chairmanship race in Ashanti Region when nominations are opened.

The NPP in April announced its timelines for reorganizing the party ahead of the 2024 elections.

It is expected that the process will begin with the party's constituency annual delegates conference which will be held in 2021.

This will be followed by the Annual Regional delegates Conference which will take place in August 2021.
Ahead of the regional contest, the group is advocating that the National Poultry Award winner and dealer of Veterinary products as well as the Chief Executive officer (CEO) of Boris B's Farms make an open declaration for the position.

A statement issued and signed by the convener and leaders of the group, Baffour Asare disclosed that the emergence of Mr. Boris B will signify a new dawn for the NPP going into the  'Break Eight'.

“The wind of change is blowing and it will not be so long for the old order to pass, giving way to the new, the statement said.

The NPP, since its inception, has depended heavily on the Ashanti Region for its strength.

The elephant party has positioned itself as a party of intellectuals, a party of civility, and a party of dignity.

In view of this, it is imperative that we pay serious attention to people we elect into sensitive offices such as the regional chairman.

We need personalities who are committed to the course of improving the livelihood of party members and the people of the Ashanti Region, with track records of leadership in the field they specialize in and people who keep promises.

Boris comes with a promise and he will deliver”, he argued
In the view of the group, “Boris B is an award-winning poultry farmer who has excelled greatly in the area of agriculture and exports.

He is a successful private businessman who has worked his way up and contributed immensely to youth empowerment through employment opportunities.

In a world where entrepreneurship has become one of the most important topics for discussion, Boris comes as an ideal choice for the youth.

At a time when the unity of the party is so critical, Boris is a perfect man to hold us together.

His levelheadedness, truthfulness, and the respect he commands are traits that are inextricably tied to building a united front in the region.

The Ashanti Region is now ready for a man who just not have the party at heart but knows how to produce results.

It is one thing having passion and love for the party and it is another thing having the knowledge and wisdom to make it succeed”
