Bernard Mornah, the flagbearer of the People’s National Convention (PNC), has revealed his plans to petition the Supreme Court after the High Court dismissed his case challenging the Electoral Commission’s (EC) decision to disqualify him from the 2024 presidential election.
Following the High Court’s ruling on Monday, October 21, Mornah voiced his dissatisfaction with the outcome, accusing the EC of mishandling the disqualification process.
He pointed out that while the EC was allowed to make mistakes on its own forms, candidates were given no such leniency.
He questioned why certain errors, such as those related to data entry or composition, were not addressed in court.
Mornah is confident that his claims hold merit and has instructed his legal team to take the matter to the Supreme Court for further review.
He emphasised the importance of having a higher court examine the EC’s decision, expressing disappointment that the High Court did not thoroughly consider the issues he presented.
He affirmed that his lawyers are already preparing for the next legal steps, with plans to promptly take the case to the Supreme Court for a fresh interpretation.

According to him, “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,” he added.
