The Member of Parliament for Adansi-Asokwa, K.T. Hammond has re-entered the New Patriotic Party (NPP) parliamentary primary in the constituency.
According to him, his motivation was to go back to Parliament to help fill the vacuum created by the decision of many experienced MPs from the NPP side not to return to the House.
Mr Hammond first entered Parliament in 2001 and is currently serving his 6th term.
He is facing competition from three other aspirants who have already filed their nominations in the Adansi-Asokwa constituency.
They are Sammy Binfo Darkwa, Kwabena Asamoah and Dr. Boakye Acheampong.
Sounding optimistic, K.T. Hammond told the media in Adansi-Asokwa he was responding to calls from his constituents to seek another term judging by his good works.
Following the announcement by Joseph Osei Owusu, MP for Bekwai, Dan Botwe, MP for Okere, Samuel Atta Akyea, MP for Abuakwa South and Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu, MP for Suame that they will not be returning to Parliament, K.T. Hammond’s absence will create a vacuum in Parliament and affect the quality of work in the House.
This is one of the reasons he wants to go back to Parliament with his experience as a legislator and make invaluable contributions to the House.
He warned the youth to desist from scrambling for their space in Parliament while they still have life in them although admitting the future belongs to the Youth.
Reacting to public concern about alleged slapping of Majority Chief Whip Frank Annoh-Dompreh K.T. Hammond, during a parliamentary proceeding on December 22, 2023 he accused the media of taking his action out of context.
He wondered why his thoughts and comments are on many occasions misrepresented without looking out for the substance.
