Following his disqualification from contesting the presidential election, presidential candidate of the People’s National Convention, Bernard Anbataayela Mornah, has the electoral body.
The politician was disqualified together with 10 other presidential aspirants for failing to correct errors detected on their presidential nomination forms.
In the case of Mr. Mornah, the EC Chair, Mrs. Jean Mensa, said, “Mr. Bernard Mornah also had incomplete details of supporters. He also used registered voters in a particular district to support the nomination in other districts. His form also contained varying signatures for the same supporters and, in some cases, the same signature for different supporters. The committee was of the view that he be disqualified.”
But the PNC’s has described his disqualification as unlawful and filed a case in court.
He said the disqualification was a breach of his rights, was illegal, and failed to comply with due process requirements imposed by law.
He is seeking “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 the December 7, 2024 Public Presidential Elections until the 1st applicant is declared duly nominated candidate of the 2nd applicant and allowed to contest the said elections.”
