Ashanti Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Bernard Antwi Boasiako, popularly known as Chairman Wontumi, has formally withdrawn his motion seeking a review of his GH¢50 million bail conditions imposed by the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO).
The motion, initially filed at the High Court in Accra on May 30, 2025, was scheduled for hearing on Tuesday, June 3.
However, his legal team withdrew the application on Monday, June 2, ahead of the court session.
Chairman Wontumi had challenged the bail amount, arguing through his lawyers that it was excessive and appeared designed to hinder his release.
His legal team had requested a revision of the bail terms, citing grounds outlined in an accompanying affidavit.
The withdrawal application was filed by private legal practitioner Gary Nimako on behalf of the embattled NPP regional chairman.
Meanwhile, lead counsel Andy Appiah-Kubi has confirmed that all necessary documentation for the two justified sureties has now been completed.
He noted that this progress, which rendered the court application unnecessary, was made possible with considerable assistance from former Minister for Food and Agriculture, Bryan Acheampong.
With the bail conditions now satisfied, Chairman Wontumi is expected to be released while legal proceedings continue.
