Flagbearer of the People’s National Convention (PNC), Bernard Mornah, has revealed that his disqualification has sent his uncle in the village into a coma.

He told Accra-based Peace FM in an interview monitored by MyNewsGh.com that he is not sure if the man in question has recovered since 2 pm on Friday, September 20, 2024, when the news of his disqualification reached him.

“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 realized 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.
