The High Court has rejected the application filed by Bernard Mornah, the flagbearer of the People’s National Convention (PNC), who was seeking to challenge the Electoral Commission’s decision to disqualify him from running in the upcoming presidential elections.
The verdict, announced on Monday, October 21, is a significant setback for the PNC and its leader Mornah, just weeks before the December polls.
Mornah’s disqualification from the race was due to issues with his nomination forms, which the Electoral Commission deemed insufficient for him to contest the election.
In response, Mornah filed an application to contest the decision, arguing that his disqualification was unjust.
However, the High Court upheld the Electoral Commission’s ruling.
The decision to disqualify Mornah has sparked discussions within Ghana’s political circles, with some questioning the fairness of the electoral process.
Mornah’s supporters have criticized the disqualification process for lacking transparency and raising concerns about how the Electoral Commission handles such cases.
Despite this legal setback, Mr. Mornah has expressed his commitment to continue advocating for electoral reforms in the country.
