Some members of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in Parliament have petitioned the house to investigate the violence that occurred during the 2020 elections.
The MPs are urging Parliament to launch a full scale bi-partisan investigations into the events that led to some deaths.
As carried in an article by Pulsegh, the motion,was led by the Minority Leader, Haruna Idrissu, and supported by five other lawmakers from the NDC.
The others: Muntaka Mubarak, Mahama Ayariga, Alhassan Suhuyini and James Agalga want the scope of the probe to factor in inappropriate interferences by state security in the elections and violence against citizens, leading to the loss of lives.
The motion lists the deceased as Tajudeen Alhassan, Abdullah Ayaric, Emmanuel Dompreh, Samira Zakaria, Ibrahim Abass, Rita Otoo and Fuseini Musah.
It is unclear when the motion will be moved.
There were 61 recorded cases of electoral and post-electoral violence across the country, according to the police.
Twenty-one of the incidents were true cases of electoral violence, six of which involved gunshots.
