The High Court has dismissed an application filed by Bernard Mornah, the flagbearer of the People’s National Convention (PNC), who was seeking to overturn the Electoral Commission’s decision to disqualify him from contesting in the upcoming presidential election.
Mr Mornah’s disqualification was based on issues surrounding his nomination forms, which the Electoral Commission deemed insufficient to allow him to contest the election.
In response, Mornah filed an application to challenge the decision, arguing that the grounds for his disqualification were unjust.
However, the High Court upheld the Electoral Commission’s ruling.
Mr Mornah’s supporters argue that the disqualification process lacks transparency and raises concerns about how the Electoral Commission handles such cases.
Despite the legal defeat, Mr Mornah has expressed his commitment to continue advocating for electoral reforms in the country.
These irregularities raised questions about the validity of his candidacy and sparked intense debate within the political landscape, prompting concerns about the fairness and transparency of the electoral process in Ghana. In addition to Mornah, several other aspirants faced disqualification, compounding the challenges for their respective parties.
Notable figures among the disqualified include Kofi Asamoah Siaw, the flagbearer of the Progressive People’s Party (PPP), as well as Janet Nabla PNP, independent candidates Nana Stephens Adjepong and Paul Perkoh.
Meanwhile, Tolonradio.com has gathered that, Mr. Mornah will be heading to the Supreme Court.
