Former Member of Parliament for Adansi Asokwa, Kobina Tahir Hammond, has slammed his successor, Godwin Animli Dorgbadzi-Dorani, for supposedly claiming that his (KT Hammond’s) mother was a member of the National Democratic Congress (NDC).

Speaking at a press briefing in Accra, the former legislator asserted that although his mother, during her active days, was a member of the 31st December Women’s Movement of former First Lady, Nana Konadu Agyeman-Rawlings, it did not mean that she was a member of the NDC.

He pointed out that many other women in those days, like his mother, were members of Nana Konadu’s movement.

He went on to slam Dorgbadzi-Dorani over his claims, describing him as an alien in the Adansi Asokwa constituency.

“What upset me was when he delved into my parentage and my mother. I have got a battalion in the NDC; some of my very, very good friends are in the NDC, but it is not a party that I want to belong to. There is a KT Hammond battalion in the NDC, from high up to the bottom, they are there.

“But I don’t have that political inclination or philosophy, and then you tell me that my mum was NDC... This ‘alien,’ who has been in the constituency for 8 years or so, comes in here and starts saying, ‘your mother was NDC,’ it is completely unfair,” he said.
