Members of Parliament (MPs) from the National Democratic Congress (NDC) have sworn to 'deal' with the Chairperson of the Electoral Commission (EC) Madam Jean Mensa for the act of gross disrespect shown towards them.
The Interior Ministry and the Ghana Police Service will also not be spared.
Leading this call is the Member of Parliament for Ningo-Prampram constituency, Hon Sam Nartey George.
"...the disrespect she has shown to us; we will deal with her in same manner when the next parliament starts because the next parliament we form the majority...the same applies to the Ministry of Interior and the Ghana Police Service...the police put their hands on Members of Parliament; it's unheard-of," he fumed.
This comes after the NDC MPs were prevented by police officers when they embarked on a march to present a petition on the 2020 Techiman South parliamentary poll to the EC boss.
They ended up reading their petition to the media since there was no EC official to receive it.
No prior notice
The Commission had explained that its failure to receive the petition was because the MPs failed to serve the EC prior notice.
However, Sam George who was speaking in an interview on Neat FM's Me Man Nti programme said the Minority didn't need the Commission's permission before submitting a petition.
"...we were going to give a petition to them and we didn't need their permission...that Jean Mensa is now a demigod...? If some see her as a demigod, we won't accept it. She is just a public servant paid with our taxes..."

You have made Haruna Idrisu a demigod and you respect him more than the laws of the land. Go ahead to declare your own results but don’t there to bring him to parliament on the swearing in. For the law will surely work.
GOD WILL NEVER EVER GIVE YOU THAT OPPORTUNITY TO EXECUTE THIS EVIL AGEND, IF THAT WILL BE LEGAL SAMMY GYAMFI NEVER HELPED NDC WITH SUCH STAATEMENT AND YOU KEEP REPEATING IT. YOU WILL NEVER GET AWAY WITH IT.
This Sam George guy is becoming something, if he feels that Ghana can no longer contain him,He should find his way out, anyway, i don't blame him, i blame E.T MENSAH .
You filed a writ of mandamus at the court over the Techiman South asking for a recolation. Why didn’t you pursue that? Or you realized that wasn’t going to be tenable? You see, you call innocent people onto the streets when you realize your own case is flawed. You make all the noise that there was no collation at Techiman South, yet you go to court to file for a ‘re-collation’....... who files for a ‘re-collation’ when there’s no ‘collation’ in the first place?.... u guys just making noise to disturb everybody
I'm so sorry honourable the declaration of the parliamentary result has nothing to do with the EC. Do you think about your security at all? The same police that you will need to protect, you are threatening them. The ndc claimed on the election night that they have won 141 seats. Why 137 plus the Tachiman South one that the ndc is complaining now. Yes! they are complaining but not contesting it. The npp candidate has been declared as the winner in Tachiman South so it is only the court that can reverse the decision. Go to court and demand a forensic check and a recount.
Parliamentarians are also equally demigods and should follow the law. The EC has been declared a security zone, hence you cannot crowd there under the guise of going to deliver a petition. The right things must be done. And NDC at the moment does not have parliamentary majority so they should stop throwing dust in the eyes of Ghanaians.
