The Minority in Parliament is demanding appropriate service of summons by the Ghana Police Service.
They have thus declined to respond to the suit by the police, a reason those cited in the police suit failed to show up in court on Monday.
Speaking to the media in Parliament, Minority leader Haruna Iddrisu berated the police for even adding names of some NDC MPs who were not part of the procession in the suit.
The MPs failed to turn up at the Accra Circuit Court in a case where the state is accusing them of breach of the public order Act.
According to Mr. Iddrisu, he and his colleagues do not respond to social media invitations.
The NDC MPs were charged by the Circuit Court after they embarked on a protest march from Parliament to the EC Head Office on December 22 to present a petition to the EC in relation to the disputed elections.
The statement of offence said the NDC MPs unlawfully assembled and conducted themselves “in a manner likely to cause persons in the Neighbourhood reasonable fear where a breach of the peace is likely to be occasioned.”
The MPs charged are Haruna Iddrisu, Mohammed Mubarak Muntaka, Samuel George, John Abdulai Jinapor, Rockson Defiamekpor, Ras Mubarak, Mutawakilu Adam, Ebenezer Okletey Terlabi, Dr. Kwabena Donkor, A.B. Fuseini, Kwabena Minta Akando, Yusif Issaka Jaja, Isaac Adongo, Emmanuel Armah Kofi Buah, James Klutse Avedzi, James Agalga, Collins Dauda, Abdul Rashi Pelpuo, Richard Quashigah and Zanetor Agyeman Rawlings.
