NPP Vice Chairman Reacts to Wontumi's Arrest: 'I Don't See the Rationale' Ghana's political landscape is currently facing a significant development following the arrest of NPP chairman Wontumi by the Economic and Organized Crime Office (EOCO). Adding to the unfolding situation, Kwame Brain, a Ghanaian lifestyle blogger, conducted an interview with the NPP's 3rd vice chairman on May 27, 2025. The vice chairman expressed surprise at Wontumi's arrest, stating, "It surprised me because this same regional chairman has been invited, in fact, by the CID for investigation." He further questioned the rationale behind the arrest, given that Wontumi was already under investigation. The interview took place outside what appears to be the premises of John Evans Atta Mills High Street. The vice chairman's comments highlight the ongoing tensions within Ghana's political system and the uncertainty surrounding the implications of Wontumi's arrest. The interview offers a valuable perspective from within the NPP party, contributing to a more comprehensive understanding of the situation.
