The High Court has dismissed an application filed by Bernard Mornah, the flagbearer of the People\u2019s National Convention (PNC), who sought to contest his recent disqualification from the upcoming presidential election by the Electoral Commission.<\/p>\n
This ruling, delivered on Monday, October 21, eliminates any legal avenues Mornah might have pursued to challenge the Electoral Commission\u2019s decision, presenting significant obstacles for the PNC as the December elections approach.<\/p>\n
Mornah\u2019s application aimed to overturn the Electoral Commission\u2019s verdict, which cited irregularities in his nomination forms as the primary reason for his disqualification.<\/p>\n
These irregularities raised questions about the validity of his candidacy and sparked intense debate within the political landscape, prompting concerns about the fairness and transparency of the electoral process in Ghana.<\/p>\n
In addition to Mornah, several other aspirants faced disqualification, compounding the challenges for their respective parties.<\/p>\n
Notable figures among the disqualified include Kofi Asamoah Siaw, the flagbearer of the Progressive People\u2019s Party (PPP), as well as Janet Nabla PNP, independent candidates Nana Stephens Adjepong and Paul Perkoh.<\/p>\n
The list of disqualified candidates also featured Samuel Apea-Danquah, Desmond Abrefah, Dr. Samuel Sampong Ankrah, and Nii Amu Darko.<\/p>\n
