Minority Leader and Member of Parliament for Tamale South, Haruna Iddrisu has blasted the police following Tuesday’s standoff at the Electoral Commission’s (EC) office for supposedly exhibiting unprofessionalism.
He stated that the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) will not rule Ghana forever adding that the National Democratic Congress(NDC) will only work with police officers who are professional in executing their duties.
“Let me send a strong warning to the police that the New Patriotic Party government will not rule Ghana forever. We will continue to work with police that are professional,not police that think that they can be compelled by the power of the state to undermine our rights and freedoms” Haruna Iddrisu said during a press conference.
It could be recalled that the minority in parliament marched to the EC headquarters to protest against the presidential and parliamentary results but it ended up in a near-violent standoff between the NDC MPs and heavily armed Policemen when the legislators tried to force their way to the EC office.
