Disqualified presidential candidate Bernard Mornah is alleging that the Electoral Commission (EC) has unjustly prevented him from participating in the upcoming December 7 elections, despite his thorough efforts to meet all nomination requirements.

The flagbearer of the People’s National Convention (PNC) expressed confusion over the EC's decision, particularly since they approved the nomination of Akua Donkor, the Ghana Freedom Party candidate.

"It's amazing that my mother Akua Donkor, seems to be more proficient than me," he told Citi FM’s Umaru Sanda Amadu during an interview on Tuesday, September 24, 2024.

"She went and picked 3 and she turned the 3 into F, and she is more qualified to be on a presidential ballot paper," he further commented on the qualification of the farmer over him by the EC.

In response to his disqualification, Bernard Mornah has filed a lawsuit against the EC, claiming his rights have been violated and that the disqualification is both illegal and contrary to due process.

His court documents, include a request for “An order of mandamus compelling the 2nd respondent to declare the 1st applicant as duly nominated to contest the 2024 public presidential elections.”

On September 20, 2024, the EC announced that 11 out of 24 candidates had been disqualified for not correcting errors in their nomination forms. However, Mornah asserts that he fulfilled all necessary criteria, deeming his disqualification an injustice.

“… that is why I am calling for a forensic audit of all the other people that the EC qualified; their forms,” he argued.
