The case involving Kennedy Ohene Agyepong, Member of Parliament for Assin Central, was on Wednesday adjourned to June 4 because Mr Agyepong did not show up in court.
However, Mr Anthony Rexford Wiredu, Chief State Attorney, appeared in court.
Mr Agyepong has been charged for inciting riot and engaging in offensive conduct that could breach peace.
The accused, who has pleaded not guilty to the charges, is on self-recognizance bail.
Mr Agyepong was arrested on Monday, April 16 2012, after he was invited by the Criminal Investigations Department of the Police over statement he allegedly made on his Accra-based radio station, Oman FM.
He is alleged to have �declared war� and vowed to lynch any fake security operative, following the alleged physical attack on some New Patriotic Party (NPP) members.
They were Ms Ursula Owusu, NPP�s Ablekuma South parliamentary aspirant and Mr Abu Jinapor, an aide to the NPP presidential candidate for Election 2012, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, at Tarzan, a registration centre at Odododiodoo in Accra.
The accused reportedly said he would organize supporters of the NPP to defend themselves because the Police had failed to protect them.
