The Ashanti Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party, Mr. Bernard Antwi-Boasiako, has said he is least surprised the Electoral Commission of Ghana disqualified Akwasi Odike from taking part in the 2020 Presidential elections.
Speaking on the Wontumi Morning Show which was captured on video, the NPP Chairman popularly known as Chairman Wontumi explained that the failed flagbearer of the United Progressive Party (UPP) has never been a serious person in life and it has reflected in his political life.
“Odike is not a smart guy…He doesn’t even value himself as a Presidential candidate. The Bible says whoever can’t take care of his own business can’t rule a nation. We should check his business if it is still in existence and functioning”, Chairman Wontumi said.
The Electoral Commission (EC) has disqualified five presidential aspirants from contesting in the upcoming polls.
Chairperson for the Commission, Jean Mensa made this disclosure during an update on the status of candidates following the submission of their respective forms ahead of the elections.
Speaking at the press conference in Accra, the EC indicated that a myriad of issues triggered the disqualification, most of which involve the details provided by the political parties at the filing stage.
The aspirants affected include independent candidates Kofi Koranteng, Marricke Kofi Gane, Akwasi Odike of the United Progressive Party (UPP), Kwasi Busumburu of the People’s Action Party (PAP) and the United Front Party’s (UFP) Agyenim Boateng.
