National Democratic Congress (NDC) Member of Parliament (MP) for Ningo-Prampram, Sam George, has explained the motive for gate-crushing a workshop by the Electoral Commission (EC) at the City Escape hotel in Accra.
According to him, he went to the venue with the police to ensure the EC complied with the court order after he secured an ex-parte injunction granted by the Tema High Court.
The Ningo-Prampram MP on Friday secured an injunction to stop the Commission from holding its workshop at the City Escape Hotel at Prampram ahead of a compilation of a new voters register.
The elections body was, however, reported to have held the meeting at City Escape Hotel in Accra in apparent disregard to the order.
The livid legislator, therefore, besieged the hotel premises with some members of the NDC but was refused entry by the police.
