The flagbearer of the People’s National Convention (PNC), Bernard Mornah, has announced plans to appeal to the Supreme Court following the dismissal of his case by the Accra High Court.
Bernard Mornah had sought to overturn the Electoral Commission’s decision disqualifying him from contesting in the upcoming presidential election.
He remains determined to challenge the ruling and ensure his place on the ballot.
The ruling, delivered on Monday, October 21, marks a significant setback for Mornah and his party just weeks ahead of the December polls.
Mr Mornah’s disqualification was based on issues surrounding his nomination forms, which the Electoral Commission deemed insufficient to allow him to contest the election.
In response, Mornah filed an application to challenge the decision, arguing that the grounds for his disqualification were unjust.
However, the High Court upheld the Electoral Commission’s ruling.

The decision to disqualify Mornah sparked considerable discussions within Ghana’s political circles, with some questioning the fairness of the electoral process.
Mr Mornah’s supporters argue that the disqualification process lacks transparency and raises concerns about how the Electoral Commission handles such cases.
Despite the legal defeat, Mr Mornah has expressed his commitment to continue advocating for electoral reforms in the country.
