High Court Dismisses Bernard Mornah's EC Disqualification Suit, Mornah to Petition Supreme Court
Kenneth Ashong 
An Accra High Court in Accra has dismissed Bernard Mornah’s request against the Electoral Commission (EC) for disqualifying him in the December 7, 2024 presidential race.
Justice Richard Apietu, the presiding judge, said at all material times Mr. Mornah and the People’s National Convention (PNC) were “meticulous” when presented with the opportunity to correct their errors.
The Court also said the PNC as a political party has been participating in elections since 1992 and has enough experience to assist its candidate.
Justice Apietu, the presiding judge, said Bernard Mornah showed that the Applicants had been given the opportunity by the EC to rectify the errors, but they waived that right.
Justice Richard Apietu said after listening to the submissions and all available records before the Court, the Court is unable to exercise discretion in favour of the Applicants.
The Court said the Applicants were given the opportunity but failed to do due diligence.
The Court consequently dismissed the action without cost.
In other news, 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.
