Madam Hannah Tetteh files nomination forms

Madam Hannah Tetteh, Member of Parliament (MP) for Awutu Senya West has filed her nomination forms seeking to be retained as the National Democratic Congress’ (NDC) Parliamentary Candidate for the constituency in the 2016 elections.

She paid the filing fee of GHC5,000.00 in a banker’s draft and also satisfied the conditions and processes as directed by the Headquarters of the party to enable her to contest the primary.

Mr Saleem Assibu Yartey, Awutu-Senya NDC Secretary, who received the forms and the Bankers Draft, disclosed that Mr Yaw Osire Afireye a branch executive and other concern members of the party were the first to pick the forms at the branch office on behalf of the MP and she was the first to submit the documents.

He said filling of nominations would end on September 10.

Madam Tetteh, who is also Minister of Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration, thanked Mr Osire Afireye and the concern members of the party for picking the forms for her to contest the seat again.

She said when Mr Afireye and his colleagues brought the form to her, as a native of the area who has the development of the area at heart, she had no other objection than to embrace their move in good faith since they have confidence and trust in her to lead the party to victory in the 2016 election.

The MP pledged to continue to offer selfless and accessible leadership, working to address the needs of the constituents to promote the development of the constituency.

She said her intention to contest the election is not that she is power drank, but as a native, she has the development of the constituency at heart and added that she is committed to lobby for more development projects to the area to help improve the living standard of all.
