Bernard Mornah has emerged victorious in the People’s National Convention (PNC) flagbearership race.
He was declared winner by the Electoral Commission officials at the UDS Guest House in Accra on September 7, 2024.
He garnered 1,138 votes, defeating his challenger, David Apasera, who managed to secure 216 votes.
This ensued at the party’s congress to elect its national executives ahead of the December 7 general election.
In his victory speech, Mr Mornarh called on his contender and incumbent chairman, David Apasera to join hands for the battle ahead to help the party win power.
The PNC congress, which was initially scheduled to start at 9 am, faced delays due to an injunction filed from David Apasera’s camp.
However, the party managed to resolve the dispute, allowing the congress to proceed smoothly.
Mr Mornah, known for his activism, will face over 20 other presidential candidates including the governing NPP Flagbearer Dr Mahamudu Bawumia and NDC Flagbearer John Dramani Mahama in the December 2024 elections.
Prior to the election, Mr Mornah explained that his decision to become President is borne out of the increasing number of Ghanaians who have expressed believe in his ability to provide the required leadership to develop the country.
“The increasing number of people from all corners of the country: the aged, women, people with disability but more importantly the youth have been calling and waiting for my declaration so that they will commence mobilisation of both resources and votes for the project,” he said.
He said what was required to lift the country and the African continent from the unacceptable levels of deprivation was a courageous leader of character and mettle to be able to stand up and take control of the resources of the continent and nation for the benefit of the people.
