The High Court has dismissed an application from Bernard Mornah, the flagbearer of the People’s National Convention (PNC), who sought to overturn a decision by the Electoral Commission to disqualify him from contesting in the upcoming presidential election.
The court’s decision, which came down on Monday, October 21, leaves Mornah without a legal avenue to challenge his disqualification, further complicating the PNC’s efforts as the December polls approach.
The application aimed to reverse a decision by the Electoral Commission to disqualify him based on issues surrounding his nomination forms. Mornah’s disqualification sparked discussions within the political landscape, raising questions about the fairness of the electoral process and the role of the Electoral Commission.
