The Member of Parliament (MP) for Adansi-Asokwa and Minister for Trade and Industry, (KT Hammond), did not adopt the reconciliatory tone of his New Patriotic Party (NPP) colleagues following the Supreme Court's decision to overturn the declaration of four seats in Parliament as vacant, which had previously positioned them as the Minority Caucus.
After the court's ruling on Tuesday, November 12, 2024, while his leader, Alexander Kwamina Afenyo-Markin, addressed the press with a tone of reconciliation, urging cooperation from Speaker of Parliament and National Democratic Congress (NDC) MPs, KT Hammond was heard exclaiming, "Bagbin has lost." When he had the opportunity to speak to the media, the Adansi-Asokwa MP further highlighted his side's victory over the Speaker. "The Supreme Court is the custodian of the Constitution… This man decides that he will not respect the Constitution.
Not only that, he would not respect the apex court of the land.
It is outlandish; I haven't seen anything like this in my life. "And I heard this argument that he (the Speaker) respects the supremacy of the Constitution but doesn't respect the supremacy of the Supreme Court.
