Embattled Ashanti Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Bernard Antwi Boasiako, affectionately known as Chairman Wontumi, has discontinued his motion challenging the conditions of his bail.
The application is aimed at reviewing the GH¢50 million bail by the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO), which has not been met.
The application to withdraw filed today, stated that “the Applicant herein hereby wholly discontinues the Application against the Respondents.”
It would be recalled that the motion was earlier filed at the High Court in Accra on Friday, May 30, 2025, and was to be heard tomorrow, Tuesday, June 3.
However, his legal team, led by Garry Nimako Marko, has formally withdrawn the application today, Monday, June 2.
Chairman Wontumi has been in the custody of the EOCO since May 27, 2025, for alleged involvement in multiple criminal offences, including fraud, causing financial loss to the state, and money laundering.
