Bernard Mornah defends alleged ‘threats’ against EC amidst CID invite

The Chairman of the People’s National Convention (PNC), Bernard Mornah has justified his ‘alleged threat’ comments to resist plans by the Electoral Commission to create a new voters’ register for the December polls.

He says the said statement attributed to his personality was only a piece of advice.

Speaking on the Point Blank segment on Eyewitness News, Bernard Mornah expressed shock that his statement would be deemed a threat when he was only giving counsel to the Commission over its recent posture.

“I have said that if the Electoral Commission is intending to lead us through this dangerous path, they should know that there will be confusion…It is a caution. If caution becomes threats, I will not run away from it,” he stated.

“A caution cannot represent a threat but if they take it as a threat, then I may have to bring my English teacher to tell them that cautions are not threats,” he added.

CID Invite

The Police CID has invited the opposition politician over the alleged threats asking him to report to the CID boss on Tuesday, July 2, 2020.

According to the letter inviting Bernard Mornah to the CID headquarters in Accra, he vowed to resist every attempt by the EC to compile the new register and that amounts to a threat.

“People who are already Ghanaians and already registered are going to be taken out of the voters’ register. Don’t think confusion will come at the registration station but if confusion comes there, you think the EC staff will be safe? We will beat each other there and will kill each other there if that is what the EC wants to lead this nation to,” the letter quoted Mr. Mornah as saying.
