Former Member of Parliament for Assin Central in the Central Region, Kennedy Agyapong, met the Ashanti Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Bernard Antwi Boasiako, popularly known as Chairman Wontumi in Kumasi, during the Council of State election.

Kennedy Agyapong was in the Ashanti Region to witness the process, where he crossed paths with Wontumi.

The two had reportedly been at odds due to Wontumi’s stance during the NPP’s presidential primary in 2023.

However, in a video from the event, the two appeared cordial.

Chairman Wontumi was seen introducing a senior from his alma mater, Prempeh College, to Kennedy Agyapong.

"He was my senior at Prempeh College," Wontumi said.

Kennedy responded, "Oh, I see," before shaking Wontumi’s hand. The two then engaged in a conversation.

During the NPP’s 2023 presidential primaries, Chairman Wontumi was known for his strong support for Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, while Kennedy Agyapong was one of the leading contenders in the race.

This political divide reportedly caused tension between the two.
