play the videoThe NDC deputies, dressed in red and black clothes, want answers.
Members of the minority in Parliament went to the police headquarters in search of justice for their colleague from Ningo Prampram, Samuel George, and other members of the party.
Mr. George and members of the party were allegedly badaulted by masked National Security men last Thursday at the by – election in the district of Ayawaso West Wuogon.
Joy News report captured the so-called security men who punched Mr. George at the residence of the NDC's parliamentary candidate in the polls that saw the NPP's overwhelming victory in power .
Other members of the NDC, including his parliamentary candidate, were allegedly attacked by masked men who, until today, were still not identified by the police.
This enraged the minority, which immediately announced its withdrawal from the by-election.
Although they have called for the immediate identification and prosecution of men who have brutalized their members, the minority claims that they have not yet received a favorable response.
Joy News parliamentary correspondent, Joseph Opoku Gakpo, was in Parliament and announced that opposition MPs intended to meet with the Inspector General of Police at the police headquarters to discuss their grievance with him.
After traveling a distance of about 2.23 km, the members of the minority declared that they hoped that David Asante Apeatu would have the answers to the questions he had been asking since last Thursday.
Asawase MP Muntaka Mubarak told Joseph that he hoped Parliament would deal with this issue at Tuesday's meeting, but it seems that the majority does not seem to have been disrupted.
"The government does not act on any of the videos and gives the impression that it's as if nothing has happened, just swear in and continue, which is false.
"We therefore thought to inform the PGI that five days were clear and that they were now swearing in, no one was arrested, nothing was done," he said. declared the Chief Whip of Minorities.
Deputies arrived at the police headquarters, where he was asked Mr. George to write a statement about the badault in the absence of the IGP and his deputies.
The minority leaders were, however, invited to a meeting with the director of operations.
