In a surprise move, the Electoral Commission (EC) has disqualified Bernard Mornah, a presidential hopeful, from contesting in the upcoming 2024 presidential election.
This decision comes after a thorough examination of nomination forms submitted between September 9 and 13, 2024.
The famous leader of Ghana’s Demonstration, Bernard Mornah, who was vying for the flagbearer position of the People’s National Convention (PNC), had previously been disqualified from contesting in the party’s National Delegates Congress on September 7, 2024.
The party’s National Disciplinary Committee had taken this decision following an investigation.
While details of the EC’s decision are scarce, it’s clear that Mornah’s disqualification is a significant development in the 2024 presidential election.
The EC had earlier cleared 13 presidential aspirants, including Mahamudu Bawumia, John Dramani Mahama, and Alan John Kwadwo Kyerematen, to contest in the election.
