Kobina Tahir Hammond, the outgoing Member of Parliament for Adansi Asokwa in the Ashanti Region has said the NDC did not beat the NPP.
According to KT Hammond, the New Patriotic Party supporters decided not to vote in the 2024 elections.
Speaking on Adom TV, KT Hammond expressed his unhappiness with the voters in his constituency, he detailed, “There are so many sad things, if we voted and the NDC beat me comprehensively I would be like KT and they have beaten me like that, 2020 they got like 13,000 and we hit 18,000 so you expect that if they beat me the numbers should be added to theirs for it to be 19,000, the NDC still had their 14,000, our 18,000 dropped to 13,000, the NPP did not vote”.
“I have heard most of my colleagues have lost their seats as well, the NDC did not beat us, the NPP supporters decided not to vote so they should take it”, he emphasized.
KT Hammond further added, “The places where cars could not go, I was walking there, even places during my youth days where I was not going this time I walked there and made sure we covered everywhere”.
“The day came for us to vote people were just standing there, they were saying they would not vote because they wanted money, I was like look at your Astroturf, look at your schools, look at your water, look at your roads, what will even make you cry is that one place that we created a road for the chief and the people that area they did not even vote”, he added.
KT Hammond lost to the National Democratic Congress (NDC) candidate Godwin Animli Dorgbadzi-Dorani.
The NDC candidate secured 14,229 of the valid vote cast while KT Hammond secured 13, 275 votes.
