I have not retired- KT Hammond eyes return to parliament in 2028
Former Member of Parliament for Adansi Asokwa, Kobina Tahiru Hammond, has suggested a possible return to politics, signaling his intent to contest the constituency’s parliamentary seat in the 2028 elections.
Speaking to journalists after the Obuasi High Court dismissed his petition challenging the election of NDC’s Godwin Dorani, Mr. Hammond maintained that the National Democratic Congress did not win the 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 said.
He reiterated claims that the 2024 parliamentary election in Adansi Asokwa was marred by irregularities.
According to him, ballot boxes were discovered at unauthorised locations, raising questions about the credibility of the process.
“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.
Mr. Hammond also blamed voter apathy among some New Patriotic Party (NPP) supporters for the outcome, suggesting that low turnout from the party’s base contributed to the NDC’s unexpected win.
