The flagbearer of the People’s National Convention (PNC), Bernard Mornah, has announced his intention to petition the Supreme Court following the High Court’s dismissal of his suit aimed at overturning the Electoral Commission’s decision to disqualify him from contesting in the 2024 presidential election.
Speaking to the media on Monday, October 21, after the ruling, Mornah asserted that the EC erred in its decision to disqualify him along with ten other candidates.
He expressed confidence in the validity of his claims and emphasized the need for a higher court to review the case.
Mornah also confirmed that he has already informed his legal team of his plans to approach the Supreme Court for further interpretation of the matter.
“The EC made mistakes on their own forms and we are not allowed to make mistakes. The judge did not look at that and that defies ordinary thinking. What is the error that they are talking about? Is it a data entry error that they are talking about, is it an error of composition and how come those errors were not brought to court?
“The judge did not look at the issues that were brought before it and I have already instructed my lawyers that this case is not ending here and we will go to the Supreme Court and my lawyers say that they will quickly study the case.”
