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.

However, the mention of the MP's name sparked furious reactions with spontaneous boos and jeers from the delegates.

"No, no, no, no", "he should go; away! away! away!", and "don't mention his name here", the angry delegates charged with some getting off their seats to "warn" the Chairman not to mention Sylvestre Tetteh's name.
