Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia extended a surprising gesture of consolation to Bernard Mornah, the flagbearer of the People\u2019s National Convention (PNC), following his disqualification from the 2024 presidential race as reported by Ghana Web on Thursday, October 10, 2024.<\/p>\n

PNC Chairman, Samson Asake Awingobit, revealed the news during an interview on Asempa FM on October 9, 2024.<\/p>\n

He stated that the party, which has often been perceived as politically aligned with the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), expected some form of sympathy from the NDC\u2019s leadership, including former President John Mahama and other senior members. <\/p>\n

However, they received no communication from them.<\/p>\n

“Could you imagine that since the time we did our election, the filing of our nomination and the Electoral Commission disqualified us, people who believe that my candidate, Bernard Mornah, is an ally to the NDC… could you believe nobody from the NDC, not even President Mahama… called Bernard Mornah to sympathize with us?” Awingobit expressed his disappointment.<\/p>\n

Despite speculations that the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) may have been behind the disqualification orchestrated through the Electoral Commission, Awingobit recounted how Dr. Bawumia\u2019s unexpected phone call brought comfort. <\/p>\n

\u201cYou know who called? I had a cold when he [Bernard Mornah] told me. He said it was the New Patriotic Party presidential candidate, His Excellency Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to Awingobit, Dr. Bawumia\u2019s words to Mornah were simple yet consoling: “My younger brother, it is well with you.” <\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
