Former Member of Parliament for Adansi Asokwa, KT Hammond, has warned his successor in the constituency, the National Democratic Congress (NDC) lawmaker Godwin Animli Dorghadzi-Dorani, to desist from mentioning his name in his public comments.

According to him, the MP should focus on the development in the constituency instead of always making references to him in his public discourse.

Speaking in an interview on Oyerepa TV on October 27, 2025, Hammond stated, “I always say that about 7,000 people didn’t vote… the guy, if he is having a headache, he should keep quiet and stay away from talking about me.”

His comments follow an earlier interview on Oyerepa TV, in which Dorghadzi-Dorani accused KT Hammond of disrespecting the people of Adansi Asokwa during his tenure as MP.

He alleged that the former MP failed to engage the community respectfully and was often dismissive of local concerns.

According to the NDC MP, Hammond had allegedly told some constituents who needed toilet facilities to visit his mother’s house if they wanted to use a restroom.

However, Hammond dismissed the current MP’s claims, asserting that he did not lose the election because of disrespect but because about 7,000 people failed to vote.

He further questioned Dorghadzi-Dorani’s past, alleging that he once worked as a teacher but was dismissed under unclear circumstances.

“Ask him what led to his dismissal as a teacher. Why did he run away from Fomso after the election?” he queried.



Hammond also threatened to take legal action against the current MP.
