Mornah was among 11 disqualified presidential aspirants.
The EC explained that the presidential aspirants were disqualified from participating in the December 7, 2024, elections due to their failure to correct errors on their nomination forms.
EC Chairperson, Jean Mensa, explained, “Mr Bernard Mornah also had incomplete details of supporters. He also used registered voters in a particular district to support the nomination in other districts. His form also contained varying signatures for the same supporters and, in some cases, the same signature for different supporters. The committee was of the view that he be disqualified.”
But Mr Mornah argues that his disqualification is a breach of his rights, was illegal and failed to comply with due process requirements imposed by law.
He is therefore demanding “An order of mandamus compelling the 2nd respondent to declare the 1st applicant as duly nominated to contest the 2024 public presidential elections.”
“An order restraining the 1st and 2nd respondents from printing the presidential ballot papers or carrying on with the December 7, 2024, public presidential elections until the 1st applicant is declared duly nominated candidate of the 2nd applicant and allowed to contest the said elections.”
