Tensions have erupted within the People’s National Congress (PNC) as party activists mounted pressure at the conclusion of the party’s national executive election and presidential primaries.
The elections, collated at the UDS Guest House in Accra, saw agents for various aspirants challenging the results declared by the Electoral Commission officer.
The exact discrepancies remain unclear, but the confusion erupted immediately after the EC officer announced the results.
Party members and supporters expressed dissatisfaction with the outcome, leading to a chaotic scene as accusations were made regarding the legitimacy of the process.
The party is yet to release an official statement addressing the situation.
Watch an excerpt of what happened below:
Earlier today, PNC flagbearer aspirant, Bernard Mornah led in the Greater Accra Region.
Announcing the results, the Greater Accra Regional Director of the Electoral Commission (EC), Gladys Pinkrah, revealed that the incumbent chairman, David Apasera, Mr Mornah’s main contender, secured 19 votes, while Mr Mornah achieved a significant victory with 137 votes.
In a parallel contest for the national chairmanship, Samson Awingobit also emerged victorious in the Greater Accra region, securing 106 votes, with his contender Hajia Hajara Ali garnering 55 votes.
Before the voting, Bernard Mornah expressed his confidence in winning, citing his track record as a politician and his contributions to the party.
Speaking to UTV after casting his vote, Mornah declared, “I am the people's President and I am excited about the turn of events so far."
He also promised to be a revolutionary leader, envisioning a future where Ghana's local dialects would become national languages.
