The State had earlier sued the Minority Leader, Haruna Iddrisu, and 10 other members of the Minority caucus in Parliament over the march.
The Minority are challenging results of the Techiman South Parliamentary polls.
The Caucus in the six-pager petition is asking the EC to re-collate the Techiman South Constituency Parliamentary and Presidential Elections Results from all the Two Hundred and Sixty-Six (266) Polling stations.
It will be recalled that the NDC MPs clashed with the police after they tried to present a petition to the EC following the declaration of the 2020 election results.
The protest ended in a bit of chaos as the police tried to stop them but they fought their way through.
