A parliamentary debate in the Awutu Senya West Constituency in the Central Region was postponed because of the presence of some National Democratic Congress (NDC) women clad in red at the venue to protest against the New Patriotic Party (NPP) parliamentary candidate for the area George Andah.
National Commission on Civic Education (NCCE) postponed the debate because Mr. Andah was reportedly insecure with the presense of the protestors.
According to the incumbent Member of Parliament for the area, Hanna Tetteh, the women were there to protest against George Andah, who had attacked her single marital status by challenging her to show her husband to her constituents.
Madam Tetteh indicated that a number of NDC members in the constituency had taken offense to Mr. Andah’s comments, of which he has remained unapologetic about, though she herself stated that she is not disturbed by Mr. Andah’s campaign attacks.
“Quite frankly I couldn’t care less about Mr. Andah’s attacks on me. They are not my problem and I don’t even consider them to be an issue. If that is the way he wants to do his campaign that is his choice. I will do my campaign differently.
“But there are some people in this constituency who are members of my party who have taken offense and for that reason; a number of the NDC women who were planning to attend the debate had worn funeral clothes as a sign of protest,” she said.
Concerning the cancellation of the debate, Madam Tetteh revealed that from the discussions their NCCE platform, it appeared that Mr. Andah was concerned that protesters “constituted propaganda and he [Andah] would not like to see that present during the debate.”
“For this reason the NCCE decided to suspend the debate and postpone it to another day,” she said.

The NDC propaganda and hypocrisy is nauseating. The women were there to protest against Andah for responding to Hannah in equal measure. Did they hear the comment attributed to their ambassador to Saudi Arabia Sinare about Samira Bawumia. What protest have they had about that. Is Samira not a woman. Is Hannah Tetteh more woman than Samira? They should give us a break.
@ AKU,Can George Andah debate Hannah? What english will he speak? Those illiterate Noisy NPP supporters here should stop talking.
ha ha ha, interesting, when you called him a flirt, that was okay, no woman or chief realised he has a wife and children to be respected, but when he proudly showed off his family and requested you also show off your husband and kids, then it has suddenly been diverted to all single parent mothers, did these single mothers call Andah a flirt or its hannah tetteh alone. Were the chiefs sleeping when the montie 3 said they will arape and kill the chief justice, when they called Bawumia's wife a bastard, when they called Uslar Owusu a ***barred word*** and many more.
Did you not see Mr Trump & Mrs Clinton all lining up their family all the time on campaign platforms? Read wide you uneducated NDC boy. Or is it because Mahama can't find room on the stage for all his 18 children and their various mothers so we should accept it as the norm? NOOOOO!!! No! No! No!
IN FACT THOSE OF YOU USING SOMEONES FAMILY OR PERSONAL ISSUES TO MAKE POLITICS IS NOT FAIR IT VERY BAD GHANA POLITICS IS FULL OF INSULT.SHAME ON TO YOU PEOPLE,BETTER THINK ABOUT HOW WE WILL PROGRESS.
Please we the people in NDC are fortunate to have two candidates on the ballot paper that is John mahama and Rawling's wife Nana konadu so on the election day as we vote for mahama let's also vote for Nana konadu so that if one doesn't win,the other will win.please let's spread this message to our fellow NDC members.
shame on u rather cos adwoa sarfo was proud to say she got two kids with Ken Agyapong, so let hannah be proud and accept that the pooornn star is her son tooo
Among all the comments the phooolish ones came from u people and it all came coss u lack common sense and are in support of the bad so far as is for NDC, when Hanah said Andah is iresponsible where were ur ussseless coments, and when sinare called samira a bastard too where were u, an NDC man said all women above 30 and single are...... but cos when Andah asked his competitor to show his family for introduction then u smell it as trouble, wise up for good and think like humans and stop the hypocrisy politics
Hannah Tetteh were you at legion? Were you called sampler? What were you sampling? Was it sausages? Just beg that man living around ssnit hospital at osei to have mercy on you and show up as husband. Or you would prefer Felix Kwakye the motormouth to appear as your lalala. If you live in glass house, don't throw stones
This woman is a fooI. Debate what?
