A security expert Apostle Thomas Kusi Appiah has stated that the behavior of the Trade and Industry Minister Hon. K.T Hammond during the recent NPP parliamentary primaries at Adansi Asokwa is unfortunate and needs to be condemned.
Speaking on Plan B FM’s late afternoon show EBAANOSEN hosted by Ohene Kinnah, the expert stressed that, the conduct of the NPP MP who doubles as Minister for Trade and Industry, portend bad signals for the December 2024 general elections.
He said if K.T. Hammond is left unpunished over his comments and behavior during the primaries it will encourage others to misbehave in the 2024 general elections.
The incumbent Member of Parliament for Adansi Asokwa, Kobina Tahir Hammond, has issued threats of physical harm to his contender Sammy Binfoh, in the New Patriotic Party parliamentary primaries.
According to him, he will beat the contender in the polls and also organize thugs to beat him up physically.
“I am going to ensure that he is mercilessly beaten to pop. I will humiliate him at the polls and get him beaten. I am not going to organize disturbances, I am just putting it on notice. I will not disorganize anything here, but get him wherever he is and tell him to leave town immediately,” said the legislator.
He added, “I have voted in this constituency for over 20 years. Nothing happens every time. Last night at this place, there were body-built men, beating up some of my followers. After the fight, some of the macho guys came to my house to beg me. But I want to tell you, Mr Commander, I will give him two types of showdown. I will beat and humiliate him here and then organize for him to be beaten physically.”
The primaries took place in all 275 constituencies across the country, except for those where the party has no sitting MPs or where the party lost in the 2020 elections.
