PNC delegates were hijacked – Mornah cries out after defeat

Defeated National Chairman of the PNC Bernard Mornah has accused the party of hijacking delegates in the just-ended national congress where he lost to Moses Dani Baah.

Mr Monarh suggested that the delegates were hijacked monetarily, since he did not have adequate resources to secure a win.

Speaking in an interview on “the Campaign Trail’ on Thursday[Ocotber 1], Mr Monarh mentioned that lack of resources played a major role in his recent defeat.

He said, “if today the party has decided that ‘let’s give another person an opportunity’, it does matter what strategy I deployed but I think they had a superior strategy, they had a lot of resources which I didn’t have that’s one.”

“Number two, they could have done so many things. Those of you who were on congress grounds in Greater Accra yesterday, it is not everything that you have to say. But you saw that virtually they highjacked the delegates and therefore when that happened I simply had to move out of the grounds.”

He went on “well, you can ask the MC of the day, fortunately, it is one of your own Kafui Dey who was there. And at a point, he had to interject because delegates were shouting ‘no allowance no vote.’

“So, if deliberately they decided they will not give money to the party, but you will give it to individuals to go and propagate sometimes malicious things, you will just have to say the delegates chose the leadership they wanted,” he maintained.

Mr Mornah was beaten by 31 votes, as his opponent, Mr Baah polled 1,297.
