An Accra circuit has accused 20 members of the Parliament of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) of illegal assembly after their march to the central office of the Election Commission (EC) on Tuesday, December 22, 2020.
The crime statement said the NDC MPs illegally assembled and behaved “in a manner likely to cause people in the neighborhood reasonable fear where a breach of the peace is likely to occur.”
The MPs are Haruna Iddrisu, Mohammed Mubarak Muntaka, Samuel George, John Abdulai Jinapor, Rockson Defiamekpor, Ras Mubarak, Mutawakilu Adam, Ebenezer Okletey Terlabi, Dr. Kwabena Donkor, AB Fuseini, Kwabena Minta Akando, Yusmanif Issaka Jajauel, Isaac Aduel Jajauel Jajauel Armah Kofi Buah, James Klutse Avedzi, James Agalga, Collins Dauda, Abdul Rashi Pelpuo, Richard Quashigah, and Zanetor Agyeman Rawlings.
Meanwhile, the party’s deputy general secretary, Peter Boamah Otokunor, was also charged with the same crime.
The Minority in Parliament on December 22 went to the Electoral Commission headquarters to protest the results of the 2020 presidential and parliamentary elections.
The march came after continuous street protests by party supporters following the declaration of results by the president of the Electoral Commission Jean Mensa.
The NDC and its standard-bearer John Mahama described the results that gave President Akufo-Addo 51% of the vote as “flawed.”
