FULL TEXT: Minority MPs petition to Electoral Commission
The Minority caucus in Parliament on Tuesday broke through a police barricade at the Ridge Roundabout to submit a petition to the Chairperson of the Electoral Commission, Jean Mensa.
The aggrieved legislators got involved in a scuffle with the personnel from the Ghana Police Service as they were marching from Parliament House to the headquarters of Electoral Commission in Accra.
Haruna Iddrisu, the Minority Leader led his members together with the Minority Chief Whip, Muntaka Mubarak.
The action of the Minority was triggered by what they describe as a 'stolen verdict' of the just-ended December 7 election where the incumbent president, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo was declared the president-elect the Electoral Commissioner.
