Flagbearer of the People’s National Convention (PNC), Bernard Mornah, disclosed that his disqualification from the 2024 elections has had a severe emotional impact on his family.
He shared during an interview with Peace FM that his uncle, upon hearing the news on September 20, 2024, fell into a coma.
Mornah mentioned that, as of that afternoon, he was unsure if his uncle had regained consciousness.
“As we speak, my uncle in the village is in a coma because of the news that I have been disqualified.
I do not know as of now if he has recovered, but that is the situation with people who are very hopeful of my presidency,” he disclosed.
He faulted the Chairperson of the Electoral Commission (EC), Madam Jean Mensa, for deliberately disqualifying him without considering the corrections they made in their nomination forms.
“Other candidates were called to come and make some corrections on their nomination forms, and I was also called. We rectified those errors and sent the forms back to the EC, but I am shocked Jean Mensa, whom I have worked with since 2003, could do this to me.
You realised that when she was giving reasons for the disqualification of others, when it got to my turn, she appeared to be fumbling and could not even mention my name.
Someone I have worked with for that long no longer knows my name?” he wondered.
Mr. Mornah hinted that the matter has been referred to his lawyers and is optimistic he will be on the ballot for the 2024 polls despite machinations to remove him.
