Recently, he called for the resignation of the Ashanti Regional Chairman of the NPP, Chairman Wontumi after what he described as an abysmal performance in the December 7 polls.

Contributing to the calls, the NPP founding member said “Those making the calls are right. Their decision is also legitimate. I am yet to call Wontumi on the matter,” a founding father of the party in the region.

“NPP did not perform well. We could have done better but due to imposition of individuals on the people during our primaries, a lot of things didn’t go well,” the soft-spoken AmoakoTuffour bemoaned.

He also blamed some government appointees in the region for the current precarious political situation the party finds itself.
