Godwin Animli Dorgbadzi-Dorani, the member of parliament for Adansi Asokwa Constituency, has said his constituents keep gifting him money for overthrowing KT Hammond out of Parliament.
According to the Adansi Asokwa MP, his victory has liberated the people of Adansi Asokwa from trials and tribulations.
Speaking to the media after the court’s ruling the lawmaker stated, “If, by the grace of God, the people of Adansi Asokwa have been liberated from trials and tribulations through me, the insults and all the disgrace should stop, because you people dash me money when I go out. They ask, ‘Are you the one who overthrew KT Hammond?’ When I respond in the affirmative, I am given a token to buy fuel”.
“The substantive issue was not even addressed because he breached all the laws guiding election petitions. By the grace of God, the court has listened to what my lawyers and I said and has dismissed the case”.
He added, “When I get back, many of my constituents will be happy that he has lost again, and many people will be tagging him with all kinds of things that he could have avoided in the first place”.
KT Hammond lost to the National Democratic Congress (NDC) candidate Godwin Animli Dorgbadzi-Dorani.
Animli Dorgbadzi-Dorani, NDC candidate, secured 14,229 of the valid votes cast while KT Hammond secured 13,275 votes.
Meanwhile, K.T. Hammond lost the Adansi Asokwa seat to Dorani by 954 votes and filed a case against Godwin Animli Dorgbadzi Dorani after he was not pleased with the outcome of the election.
The former Trade and Industry Minister, Kobina Tahiru Hammond, shockingly, on three occasions failed to appear before the court.
The court on August 19, 2025, proceeded with its ruling.
On Tuesday, August 19, 2025, the court imposed a fine of ¢60,000 on K. T. Hammond for wasting their time with his petition.
The case was presided over by Justice Kwabena Twumasi.
However, K.T. Hammond has said the Obuasi High Court fine of ¢60,000 is completely unfair.
According to K.T. Hammond, he will appeal the court’s fine of ¢60,000 after his election petition case was dismissed.
Speaking to the media, K.T. Hammond stated, “I am told that the Judge awarded 60,000 cedis, or so I am appealing, and this time I am appealing in my own right. I will put my own signature. I am appealing as the appellant in person; I am not going to go through a lawyer. The cost of 60,000 is completely unfair.
“I’m not too upset with the judge. There was some mix-up; there was no attendance by the lawyers, I’m told. You can understand. We filed a petition, a few things went wrong,” he said.
Also, K. T. Hammond has said he is not completely in retirement after losing his 2024 parliamentary seat.
The former lawmaker indicated a possible return to contest the constituency’s parliamentary seat in the 2028 elections.
