Ms. Tetteh, who is the Foreign Affairs minister polled 25, 664  representing 46.45% to Mr. Andah’s 28, 867   representing 52.24%.

The third candidate, Alan Barnes Yawson, of the Convention People’s Party (CPP) polled  228  votes.

The seat returns to the NPP for only the second time under the fourth republic after Oppey Abbey won it for the NPP for a term in 2004.

The campaign period running into the election will be remembered for the accusations of sexism on the part of Mr. Andah after he challenged Ms. Tetteh, a divorcee, to showcase her husband the constituents like he did his wife.

Mr. Andah remained unapologetic despite widespread condemnation of his behavior and he recived backing from the regional executives of the NPP who said the then MP aspirant could not cannot be faulted for the comments.

According to NPP, Ms. Tetteh drew first blood by describing Mr. Andah as irresponsible for because he was sacked from all the companies I worked with.

This would be the second time Ms. Tetteh is to exit the Awutu Senya seat, but first time she will do so after an election loss after she did not contest after her sitting for four years from 2000 to 2004.

Presenting the equipment, Hanna Tetteh said she procured the vehicles with her four- year share of the National Health Insurance Scheme Fund for Members of Parliament.

She re-called a number of development projects the government had provided  in the Awutu-Senya District within four years and appealed to the electorate, to come out in their numbers and vote massively for the National Democratic Congress (NDC)  on December 7 presidential and parliamentary elections for more developmental projects.

She said educational infrastructures at Awutu Bereku, Bontrase, Bawjiase as well as the up-grading of Senya Bereku Health facility with 30-bed capacity ward, improvement of road network and extension of electricity to a number of communities in the constituency were reasons why the NDC should be retained in power.

She said besides these achievements, Awutu Bereku Circuit Court had also been provided with new building, whilst the construction of markets at Senya Bereku and Bawjiase and other projects were in the pipe line.

She expressed the hope that, the people would accept the immense contributions she had made to promote the well-being of the constituency and reciprocate the gesture by giving her their mandate once more for her to better their lots.

Madam Tetteh said: “I have reached where I am today not by my power but your individual and collective voting power, and it is my duty to make good use of this gesture to the advantage of all at Awutu devoid of political affiliations.”

Naakye Dode Akabie XIIII, Queen Mother of Awutu-Bereku Traditional Area who received the keys to the vehicles commended Madam Tetteh for her hard work towards the realisation of the people’s aspirations.

Mrs Patricia Antwi, District Director of Ghana Health Service, expressed appreciation to the MP for the assistance, adding that it would help accelerate the operations of work.
