Dr. S.K. Nuamah, former Member of Parliament for Kwadaso under the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has levelled serious accusations against the party’s leadership in the Ashanti Region, claiming he was deliberately pushed out of his seat through a calculated political plot.
Speaking on Oyerepa Breakfast Show, June 3 2025, Dr. Nuamah alleged that Bernard Antwi Boasiako, widely known as Chairman Wontumi, the NPP’s Ashanti Regional Chairman, orchestrated his removal from Parliament.
According to Nuamah, Chairman Wontumi openly admitted that he was acting on direct orders to ensure he (Nuamah) was eliminated as the party’s parliamentary candidate.
“Our chairman, Wontumi, told me, right in front of me, that they said he should unseat me, so he will make sure he does,” Dr Nuamah told the host of the show.
He narrated how he was mandated to apologise to the then Minister of Food and Agriculture, Dr Owusu Afriyie Akoto, without being told the basis for the apology.
“He was like I should go and apologise to Afriyie Akoto, and I didn’t even know my offence,” Nuamah said, suggesting that his refusal to comply may have contributed to his political downfall.
Dr Nuamah further alleged irregularities in the electoral process leading up to the NPP’s parliamentary primary in Kwadaso.
He said the delegates’ album used to elect constituency executives was changed just before the parliamentary primary, a move he resisted but could not prevent.
“They used the album for the constituency executives’ election, but said they would change it for the parliamentary election. I did all I could, but they said no and changed it,” he explained.
The former MP disclosed further that he followed the matter in court but claimed the sitting judge was threatened and forced into ruling against him.
“They called the judge to warn him, so he was under intimidation to deliver the verdict without looking at the issue at hand,” Dr Nuamah alleged.
He confessed the party had made serious internal mistakes, stating, “That was how badly people abused power during our tenure. You see, we are NPP and will die as NPP, but let’s talk about our sins.”
