Election 2024: I’m optimistic PNC will be reinstated on ballot – Mornah

The High Court is set to deliver its judgment on Monday, October 21, in a case filed by Bernard Mornah, the flagbearer of the People’s National Convention (PNC), who is challenging his disqualification from the 2024 presidential election by the Electoral Commission (EC).

Mornah was among 11 candidates disqualified by the EC on September 20, 2024, due to unresolved errors in their nomination forms.

He, along with two others, filed a suit against the EC, arguing that the commission violated constitutional provisions by not allowing him the opportunity to rectify the errors before disqualifying him.

Mornah contends that the EC’s actions were unfair and unconstitutional. According to him, the EC failed to communicate the issues in the nomination forms, especially those flagged as potentially criminal, leaving candidates without the chance to address them.

Ahead of the court ruling, Mornah shared his optimism in an interview with Citi News, expressing confidence that the judgment would be in his favour.

“It is not going to be anything dramatic. We expect that the court will do what is right by ensuring that the Electoral Commission is directed to admit me onto the 2024 ballot and then we can roll out our campaign in full as you are aware, the printing of material and other things are stalled.

“You know that I am the people’s president. So I am in high spirits and we are hopeful that judgement will be done as we committed no crime as to take us out of the ballot.”
