Member of Parliament Nana Agyei Baffour Awuah has stated that plea negotiations initiated in the criminal case against Ashanti Regional NPP Chairman Bernard “Wontumi” Antwi-Boasiako do not indicate an admission of guilt. Antwi-Boasiako is currently facing unspecified criminal proceedings. Awuah, who also serves as Vice Chairperson of Parliament’s Subsidiary Legislation Committee, emphasized that the plea negotiations are a standard legal strategy. This approach allows for potential resolution of the case outside of a full trial. The move aims to explore possible outcomes and does not reflect a concession of wrongdoing by the defendant. Further details regarding the nature of the charges against Antwi-Boasiako have not been publicly released. The negotiations are ongoing, and the outcome remains uncertain.
