Flagbearer of the People’s National Convention (PNC) Bernard Mornah has vowed to fight his disqualification by the Electoral Commission (EC) in the 2024 election.
The EC on Friday, September 20, approved 13 candidates to contest the December 7 presidential elections.
But Mr Mornah and 10 others were disqualified after the vetting process.
Reacting to the development, Mr Mornah stated he would not accept his disqualification amidst threats to pursue legal action.
“It is a terrible afternoon but you can be assured that I am a fighter and I will fight this to the end, I will not accept this kind of disrespect and we will not accept the fact that the electoral commission does not want to play according to the rules.
“The EC received our forms on 13th of September. By 12: PM we had submitted our nomination forms and at 6:35 AM on Saturday I got a call from one Samuel Quoao, I don’t know him, he said he had sent a letter from the EC that there were some anomalies with the forms,” he said in an interview on Accra-based TV3.
In his view, the EC has no basis to disqualify him, adding all errors detected in his nomination forms were duly corrected.
“I counted about seven different pages and the EC claimed that we have some anomalies. I immediately sent that the forms should be picked in accordance with the EC’s directive and the forms were completed on Saturday and returned. Mr Quauo called that our forms had been rectified,” he explained.
