Sylvester Tetteh booed by his constituents in absentia
Meanwhile, the Member of Parliament for Boartianor Ngleshie Amanfrom Constituency, Sylvester Tetteh was booed by his constituents during the visit of Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia to interact with constituency delegates on Thursday.
During the introductory remarks of the constituency Chairman, he said the NPP MP for the area, Sylvester Tetteh who is a leading coordinator for the Alan Kyerematen campaign, could not be present because the MP is out of town on assignment.
