 “When I KT Hammond was part of the founding fathers of the NPP where was he? I have been moving with President Akufo-Addo since 1996. Even when he wasn’t the President, I called him Mr President and so Wontumi should not think he is a darling boy of the president than me.

“We have seen better Ashanti regional chairmen like Antoh. Who are you to allow disqualified aspirants?” Mr Hammond questioned in an interview with Accra-based Class FM.

But the Ashanti Regional Youth Organiser of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), Mr. Dennis Kwakwa has said K.T Hammond’s disrespect shown to the Regional Chairman will cost him dearly.

“This is unacceptable and its time to deal with this level of disrespect. It’s not proper to have a candidate who’ll undermine the authority of the Regional Chairman.

"We’ve even gathered that the constituency executives have issues because of the way he throws his weight around. Wontumi presides over 47 constituencies in the region, and he K.T Hammond’s influence ends at his backyard, therefore he cannot refer to Wontumi as “That boy”. That’s very disrespectful!” he told host Kweku Owusu Adjei on Anopa Kasapa on Kasapa 102.5 FM
