KT Hammond, Member of Parliament (MP) for Adansi Asokwa, expressed unhappiness with his constituents following his recent defeat in the 2024 parliamentary elections.
According to him, the citizens of his constituency declined to vote, resulting in his defeat.
He added that what bothered him the most was that regions where chiefs had assured him of victory still did not turn out to vote for him.
“I’ve worked hard for this constituency, and I thought that would be appreciated at the polls. But politics is full of surprises, and it’s clear that the people wanted a change,” he said.
“Places that cars couldn’t go, I had to walk and visit them. Places that even during my youthful age I wasn’t going, I went there in my old age. So, I made sure that I covered all places and felt comfortable.”
He continued, “So, when election day came, people refused to go and vote, and I was asking them why. They said they needed money. And I was like, why would they request money when I have done roads and provided them with potable water?
“What will make you cry is places where I constructed roads, where the chiefs said they would vote for me in appreciation, but they didn’t vote. It is very sad. What pained my heart most is that they didn’t vote.”
