Yaw Ofori, who claims to be a member of the NPP, has been anti-KT since 2012. So his actions are not new to us,\u201d he claimed.<\/p>\n<p>He further debunked claims that the Minister of Trade and Industry has done little for the Fumso electoral area.<\/p>\n<p>Explaining further, he said Fumso as a community has benefited greatly from the MP, calling on delegates to ignore such accusations against the MP.<\/p>\n<p>He, however, mentioned some of the projects the MP has embarked on in the region in the area of education, health, electricity, and roads, of which 100 kilometres of asphalt roads have been constructed from Fumso to Adansi Aboabo No1.<\/p>\n<p>He again accused the protestors of doing the bidding of Sammy Binfoh, a closer contender of KT Hammond in the Parliamentary primaries.<\/p>\n<p>He said, \u201cThe awarding of new major contracts which takes effect this year has become a great worry and headache to the N.D.C fraternity. And therefore, pretending to be sympathizers of Mr. Sammy Binfo, as they shall have no message against our minister in the general elections.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>KT Hammond, who entered Parliament in January 2001, will be going into the contest with three other contestants, namely: Sammy Binfo Darkwa, Kwabena Asamoah, and Dr. Boakye Acheampong.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2013<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Explore the world of impactful news with CitiNewsroom on WhatsApp!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Click on the link to join the Citi Newsroom channel for curated, meaningful stories tailored just for YOU: https:\/\/whatsapp.com\/channel\/0029VaCYzPRAYlUPudDDe53x<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>No spam, just the stories that truly matter! \ud83c\udf10\ud83d\udcf0 #StayInformed #CitiNewsroom #CNRDigital<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<div class=\"jeg_post_source\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span>Source:<\/span><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\tSampson Manu\/Obuasi\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Over 40 polling station executives of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the Fumso electoral area in the Adansi Asokwa constituency have declared their unflinching support for the Member of Parliament for the area, KT Hammond ahead of the party\u2019s parliamentary primaries on January 27.
