Election 2024: Supreme Court dismisses Bernard Mornah’s application challenging his disqualification

A five-member Supreme Court panel, led by Justice Tanko Amadu, has dismissed an application by Bernard Mornah, the presidential candidate of the Peoples National Convention (PNC), to overturn the High Court’s ruling that backed the Electoral Commission’s (EC) decision to disqualify him from the 2024 elections.

The court, which convened for an emergency sitting on Friday, 22 November 2024, heard both parties' arguments before delivering its unanimous decision around noon.

The court concluded that the High Court's decision was legally sound.

Bernard Mornah was represented by Lawyer Harold Atuguba, while the EC was represented by Lawyer Justin Amenuvor.

No costs were awarded, as it was a constitutional matter.
