The management of the Madison Lodge in Kumasi has accused the New Patriotic Party’s Ashanti Regional Chairman, Bernard Antwi Boasiako (Wontumi), and his assistant, Andy Owusu, of being behind the thumb-printed ballot scandal.

Management say they are willing to cooperate with the police in investigating the scandal.

Below is a statement issued by the hotel 


NPP assertion of Thumb printed Ballots scandalous

The attention of Madison Lodge has been drawn to images and videos circulating on social media, alleging that thumb-printed ballot papers were found in our hotel rooms.

We wish to state the following:

1. On Saturday, December 3 at 7:20PM, a gentleman by name Andy Owusu, who is a known face in Kumasi and special Assistant to Chairman Wontumi, booked three rooms he said was meant for some investors of his business.

2. He dropped 2 bags and stayed in the room for 2 hours with a fair lady.

3. Chairman Wontumi, on Sunday, led Police men and media to our hotel premises to the very room his assistant booked, only to be told they were thumb-printed ballot.

4. We see this as scandalous and an attempt to destroy our brand as one of the serene hotels in Kumasi.

5. We are, therefore, willing to cooperate with the police to find the true intent of Chairman Wontumi and his Special Assistant.

Thank You
Evans Nuamah, Hotel Manager Madison Hotel
