The Ashanti Regional Minister, Dr. Frank Amoakohene, has stated that KT Hammond, the former Member of Parliament for Adansi Asokwa, lost touch with his constituents as early as 2023, which contributed to his defeat in the 2024 general elections.

Speaking during an interview with Bernard Avle on The Point of View on Channel One TV, Dr. Amoakohene expressed little surprise at KT Hammond’s electoral loss, criticizing his failure to address the basic needs of the people.

“KT Hammond when I entered his constituency, after engaging two shops, I realized that there was a golden opportunity. We had targeted Adansi Asokwa since 2012, when I first entered the constituency as far back in 2023, I noticed that he had lost touch with the people.

“And the needs of the people were not on his table. The only thing they mentioned every time was to have access to a toilet facility, that was the major thing they needed. KT had been there for 24 years, and couldn’t provide that for them.”
