The High Court in Accra has postponed its ruling on a motion by Bernard Mornah, the flagbearer of the People’s National Convention (PNC), to October 21.
Bernard Mornah is challenging the Electoral Commission’s (EC) decision to disqualify him from the 2024 presidential election.
The EC disqualified 11 candidates, including Mr Mornah, citing errors in their nomination forms that went uncorrected.
Mr Mornah, one of three individuals who have filed lawsuits against the EC, claims that his constitutional rights were violated as he was not given the chance to amend these errors.
The EC maintains that while it informed candidates of certain errors, it did not communicate those that were deemed criminal in nature.
In court on Wednesday, Mr Mornah’s lawyers argued that the EC overstepped its discretionary authority.
Mr Mornah’s attorney, Harold Atuguba, requested that the EC halt all electoral activities concerning the presidential election until the court makes its decision.
