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.

double standard.... that is how kwesi pratt is.. always covering up for the NDC just for money... i wish the CPP will be bold enough to sack him bcos he is jux using them...
i cant think far ooooo.. when Andah requested for Hon. Hannah Tetteh's husband, its became a major news, and people like kwesi pratt was on it for days, castigating Andah but when sinare called samira a bastard and all sorts of names, all women movement are quite n hypocrite kwesi pratt is also as dump and maliciously decline to comment on it.... this is crazy....
Protesting against Andah? Are they for real? Where were they when Sinare called Hajia Samira bastard? or ndc women are more important than others? Those women feel proud of their ndc women thi*ves? Are they not ashamed of these women in red,black,green and white multicolored gidigran,colours that make them look like sick people. They should give us a break ! What is wrong with asking Hannah Tetteh to bring her husband if she has any? You insult and when you get it back you make it big deal who do you think you are,you are not up anyone in Ghana except that you are best in ste*ling.I think those women have nothing good for their children's future else you wouldn't waste precious time to find something to eat demonstrating for this woman who doesn't respect and think a hoot about you.
Hannah, go & tell this Kweku Ananse story to shell-shocked Hillary Clinton. Who started the mud-slinging!! Where are the "offwnded" members of your party? Have they read/heard what the NDC's ambassador to Saudi Arabia wrote about Sammira Bawumia? OOPs, I 4got - they're suffering from the notorious NDC garb of hypocrisy!
