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.

Lol....whats the debate for anyway? All the attendees belong to either side.... They have all made up their minds..
Who is adwoa safo's husband. produce him noseeenseeee
Dear Hannah Tetteh: Saying "quite frankly I couldn't care less" actaully means you care. If you don't care, then you say "I could care less."
What is wrong with asking someone to show her husband. There was nothing wrong when she called him irresponsible and accused him of sleeping around.Hypocrisy. She probably paid the protesters, because she's afraid to debate.
Since when did it become an offensive to ask a public figure who claims to be married to show her husband. Someone should tell the gullible NDC women to stay out of the kitchen if they cannot take the smoke.
Some of this people like Andah, ken agyapong and their like have no business and any moral right to even represent their homes not to talk about a whole constituency. Shameful, irrisponsble, disgraceful to our democracy. How many women in his family has no husbands? how many women in his constituency has no husbands? how many in the npp has no husband? He is a ***barred word*** to make this a campaign message
shallow minded people always insult. When did husband and wife becomes an issue. who is adwoa safo's husband. Who in NPP can stand this woman in debate.
If they said bring your husband is an insult? i want to known please
People this woman thinks she's smart, she organise them to come and protest. She's running away from Andah, she has nothing to say than trash
Absolutely non.s.ense. When you called Andah i.rresponsble and that he was sleeping around with little girls at Senya where were those women.
