Flagbearer of the People’s National Convention (PNC), Bernard Abataayela Mornah, has sued the Electoral Commission (EC) over his disqualification from the presidential race in the 2024 general elections.
Benard Mornah has called on the court to restrain the 1st and 2nd respondents from printing the presidential ballot papers or carrying on with the December 7, 2024, Public Presidential Elections until he is declared duly nominated to contest the upcoming elections.
The Chairperson of the EC, Jean Mensa earlier remarked that “Mr Bernard Mornah also had incomplete details of supporters. He also used registered voters in a particular district to support the nomination in other districts. His form also contained varying signatures for the same supporters and in some cases the same signature for different supporters. The committee was of the view that he be disqualified.”
Meanwhile, Mornah constitutes the disqualification unlawful and seeks “An order of mandamus compelling the 2nd respondent to declare the 1st applicant as duly nominated to contest the 2024 public presidential elections.”
“An order restraining the 1st and 2nd respondents from printing the presidential ballot papers or carrying on with the December 7, 2024, Public Presidential Elections until 1st Applicant is declared duly nominated candidate of the 2nd applicant and allowed to contest the said elections.”
