The incumbent MP received 178 vote followed by Frederick Abban 36, George Osei Ware and Gifty Mensah polled zero vote.
In his victory speech Mr Tetteh thanked his supporters and his campaign team for their hard work for has resulted in his victory.
He said it is time to heal and be together as one family with the defeated contestants.
According to him, they dine from the same table so they will continue to work together to make sure the NPP wins the December 7, polls.
The task ahead for Mr Tetth is to face the National Democratic Congress' (NDC) parliamentary candidate Alexander Akuako who was elected last year.
