Leading Member of the People’s National Convention (PNC), Bernard Mornah, has criticized the New Patriotic Party (NPP) for commenting on a yet-to-be-delivered court judgement relating to a disputed parliamentary seat in Kpandai. Mornah stressed that it’s speculative and inappropriate for any political party to make conclusions ahead of time, adding that parties should only express their intention to appeal after the actual ruling.
The controversy stems from a long-running legal battle over the declaration of an MP following the 2024 parliamentary elections, contested between the NPP’s Matthew Nyindam and the NDC candidate, Daniel Nsala Wakpal. Mornah described the NDC candidate’s pursuit of the case as legitimate, but expressed concern that prolonged court cases undermine democratic representation.
Mornah also criticized the NPP for selective respect for the judiciary, recalling how the party urged opponents to seek redress in court when it suited them. He questioned the timing of the NPP’s press engagements, stressing that disagreement should only follow after the official ruling is released.
The PNC is eager to secure parliamentary representation and will take any legitimate opportunity to return to Parliament, Mornah stated, emphasizing that electoral justice must prevail regardless of political advantage.
