Disqualified Presidential Candidate of the People’s National Convention (PNC), Bernard Mornah, has filed a suit against the Election Commission (EC) following his disqualification from the 2024 Presidential Race.
Mornah and 10 other aspirants, were disqualified due to issues with their nomination forms.
In a suit filed at the High Court, Bernard Mornah is requesting the court to compel the Electoral Commission to allow him to contest the presidential elections.
Mornah is seeking a declaration that the EC’s failure to provide specific reasons for his disqualification or grant him a hearing constitutes a breach of his fundamental human rights.
Additionally, he’s seeking an order restraining the EC from printing presidential ballot papers or proceeding with the 2024 general elections until his nomination is reinstated.
“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 December 7, 2024, Public Presidential Elections until the 1st Applicant is declared as the duly nominated candidate of the 2nd Applicant, and allowed to contest the said elections.”
