The former Member of Parliament for Adansi Asokwa, K.T. Hammond, has issued a warning to all presidential aspirants in the New Patriotic Party (NPP) race.
K. T Hammond warned the presidential aspirants to refrain from attempting to leave the party after losing the primaries on January 31, 2026.
According to him, none of the aspirants will be allowed to use the party and subsequently break away after losing the primaries, like Alan Kyerematen.
He emphasised that it will not be easy for any aspirants who decide to leave the party after the primaries.
Speaking in an exclusive interview, K.T. Hammond stated, “ The leadership, particularly those out there aspiring to become presidential candidates, know how to go about it, watch how you talk, let us choose a candidate, after electing a candidate.
Those of you involved in the primaries, no one dares say he did not win the primaries, so he is leaving the party, like the way we will handle that person in this country”, he warned.
He further added, “Look at what Alan did; he will never come back to the NPP. If you like, try and let’s see if you think we are joking. We are not going to destroy the party. No one will be allowed to use the party and subsequently break away after losing the primaries”.
Meanwhile, all five aspirants in the New Patriotic Party (NPP) presidential race have pledged their commitment to former President Akufo-Addo not to abandon the party if they lose the primaries.
According to the five aspirants, they will rally behind any eventual winner in the 2026 NPP presidential primaries.
A statement from the former President’s office said, “In a significant show of solidarity, each of the five aspirants gave their personal assurance, and that of their campaign teams, to maintain a healthy but competitive campaign atmosphere.
Furthermore, they expressed their commitment and that of their supporters, to rally behind the eventual winner and uphold the unity of the party after the primaries”.
Also, former President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has told all New Patriotic Party (NPP) presidential aspirants to prioritise issue-based campaigning.
He urged the NPP aspirants to maintain a tone of mutual respect ahead of the January 31, 2026, presidential primaries.
Akufo-Addo hosted the five aspirants vying for the NPP’s presidential nomination at a breakfast meeting held at his private residence in Nima, Accra, on Tuesday, 21 October 2025.
The former president emphasised the importance of a clean and respectful contest.
He encouraged the spirit of camaraderie among the aspirants and called for a unified NPP to recapture power.
Hackman Owusu-Agyemang, Chairman of the NPP Council of Elders; Acting National Chairman Danquah Smith Buttey; General Secretary Justin Kodua Frimpong; Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin; and former Chief of Staff Akosua Frema Osei-Opare were all present at the breakfast meeting.
Ken Ohene Agyapong, Dr Bryan Acheampong, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, Dr Yaw Osei Adutwum, and Kwabena Agyei Agyepong were also in attendance.
