EC disqualification: Only Bawumia called to sympathise with us, says PNC chairman


Read Time: < 1 minute

The People’s National Convention (PNC) has voiced its disappointment with the National Democratic Congress ( NDC 

) for what they see as a betrayal and neglect after their flagbearer, Bernard Mornah, was disqualified by the Electoral Commission (EC).

Samson Awingobit, the party’s national chairman, claims that after PNC was disqualified, no NDC member reached out to the party.

Speaking with Accra-based Asempa FM, Awingobit said, “Could you imagine that since the time we did our election, the filing of our nomination and the Electoral Commission disqualified us, people who believe that my candidate, Bernard Mornah, is an ally to the NDC.

“Could you believe nobody from the NDC, not even President Mahama, or Asiedu Nketia, or Fifi Kwetey or Omane Boamah – none of them called Bernard Mornah to sympathise with us.”

“You know who called? I had a cold when he [Bernard Mornah] told me. He said it was the New Patriotic Party presidential candidate, His Excellency Dr Mahamudu Bawumia. He was the one who rather picked up the phone [and called].

“Even I and my leader were saying that it was NPP that made Jean Mensa disqualify us. But the one you think is your enemy is not your enemy. Dr Bawumia could pick up his phone and say my younger brother, it is well with you,” he added.
