“I’m not fully retired” – KT Hammond hints at political comeback
Former Member of Parliament for Adansi Asokwa, Kobina Tahiru Hammond, has hinted at a possible return to contest the constituency’s parliamentary seat in the 2028 elections.
According to him, the National Democratic Congress (NDC) did not win the Adansi Asokwa seat on merit but rather “by default.”
“I am not completely in retirement. I had to return to my law books to sharpen a few things. But I am not in retirement, if that is what you think. In any event, as I said, watch this space,” KT Hammond told journalists after the Obuasi High Court dismissed his petition challenging the election of Godwin Dorani as Member of Parliament for Adansi Asokwa.
He alleged that the 2024 parliamentary election in Adansi Asokwa was fraught with irregularities, including ballot boxes found at unauthorized locations.
“Those boxes, what were they doing at Lomito Clinic? Is that where we voted? You heard it in the script when he was telling me that I was complaining about some of my pink sheets. Just have a look at them.
“They had tippers, inks, and other things on them; it was crazy. There was a lot of mess attributed to this Adansi Asokwa election, and it was beyond description. I felt I had to contain myself,” he recounted.
KT Hammond further claimed that the situation was worsened by some New Patriotic Party (NPP) supporters who refrained from voting, a development he believes contributed to the NDC’s win.
