In the statement, Hammond expressed his disappointment at the violence and chaos caused by Sammy Binfoh in the constituency, emphasizing that elections had previously been conducted peacefully for 24 years. He also mentioned a specific incident where one of his supporters had used a pistol to defend himself against a person carrying an AK47.

Hammond’s frustration with the situation was evident as he vowed to ensure that his opponent, Samuel Binfo, would be beaten mercilessly and humiliated at the polls. This aggressive stance indicated the intensity of the political rivalry between the two candidates.
