Bernard Mornah sues EC, The flagbearer of the People’s National Convention (PNC), Bernard Anbataayela Mornah, has taken legal action against the Electoral Commission (EC) after being disqualified from the upcoming December presidential election. Mr. Mornah was one of 11 presidential aspirants disqualified from contesting in the December 7, 2024, elections. The EC cited errors on the nomination forms as the reason for disqualification. EC Chairperson Jean Mensa stated that Mornah’s nomination forms had incomplete supporter details and that he used registered voters from one district to support nominations in other districts, violating electoral rules. Mr. Mornah contends that his disqualification was unlawful, violated his rights, and did not follow due legal process. Therefore, he seeks a court order to compel the EC to reinstate him as a presidential candidate in the 2024 elections. He seeks an order of mandamus compelling the 2nd respondent (the Returning Officer, in this case, the Chairperson) to declare him as duly nominated to contest the 2024 presidential elections. Additionally, he seeks an order restraining the EC and the Returning Officer from printing the presidential ballot papers or carrying on with the December 7, 2024, Presidential Elections until he is declared the duly nominated candidate of the PNC and allowed to contest the elections.
