Minority Leader of Parliament, Haruna Iddrisu and ten other NDC MPs are expected to appear before an Accra Circuit Court today for violating the Public Order Act when they marched to the Electoral Commission’s head office in Accra on December 22, last year.
The Minority Caucus led by its leader, Mr. Iddrisu stormed the EC premises to present a petition over the results of the 2020 Presidential and Parliamentary polls.
However, a scuffle ensued as Police personnel tried to prevent the agitated MPs from going beyond the Ridge Roundabout. The MPs defied the orders of the Police who said they were not aware of any walk by the Minority to the EC office.
As a result, they were sued for breaching the Public Order Act 1994, (Act 491) and are expected to appear before the Circuit court. The sued MP’s are Tamale South MP, Haruna Iddrisu, Asawase MP, Alhaji Muntaka Mubarak; Ningo-Prampram MP, Sam George; YapeiKusawgu MP, John AbdulaiJinapor; South Dayi MP, Rockson Dafeamekpor and the Kumbungu MP, Ras Mubarak.
