The People’s National Convention (PNC), has condemned its National Chairman, Bernard Mornah, over his calls for the expulsion of Israeli Ambassador to Ghana, Ami Mehl, saying that is not a party position.
Mr. Mornah made the call following statements from the Ambassador describing Ghana’s vote against the US on making Jerusalem the capital of Israel as a ‘regrettable mistake’.
According to Mr. Mornah, the Israeli Ambassador had shown gross disrespect to the integrity of the President Akufo-Addo and the people of Ghana by his comments.
In a statement issued shortly after the UN vote, the Israeli Ambassador to Ghana expressed his country’s disappointment over the vote. The statement said it was hopeful that Ghana will not repeat “such mistake” in subsequent motions before the General Assembly.
Speaking to Citi News, Vice Chairman of the PNC, Henry Asante, reprimanded Mr. Mornah and dissociated the party from the call.
“…So long as the party is concerned, the party has not made any statement or come together to think of anything of that nature, so for the Chairman to go out to make that statement is a surprise to some of us. We can assume that he was making it out of his personal conviction, and with that we have no qualms with it. But the party will not take kindly to him being associated with it “he said
He noted that any statement that comes from the party must be well-thought through and must be approved by the leader.

I also think the vote was a big mistake so should I also be expulsed?
@...but. Your view is very hypocritical. By our vote at the UN, were we not telling the Americans that it was a mistake for them to recognize Jerusalem as Israel's capital? So if the Israeli Ambassador also tells us that our vote was a mistake, what difference does it make. Much as you don't want the Ambassador to define the thinking of Ghanaians, we (Ghanaians) too have no right to define American thinking. Does America not have the right to decide her interests as a sovereign country? In which Israeli city did Ghana's Ambassador to Israel present his Letters of Credence to the President of Israel? Was it not in Jerusalem?? The Arabs and the yes-voting countries of the UN (including Ghana) have lost the initiative to the Americans. Jerusalem is and will forever remain the eternal capital of Israel. God said so long, long, long ago.
i think Benard Monah should be careful way he is going, Ghana is by far a country that believes in the rule of law and free speech, i believe Jerusalem is the capital of Israel and no problem about it, the Palestines just want to take over that which the Lord God has ordained for Israel days back, these Palestines cannot take it with force and i believe in the President of USA to declare Jerusalem as Israel capital.
Mr President Ghanaians are not descendants of Arabs. Why should this government vote in their favour on such a motion. Don't let the Muslims minority in Ghana dictate where we should go. Ghana is not and can never be a Muslim country. Get that into your brains. That land in dispute (Jerusalem) belong to Israelis. History is there to confirm this. Whether we vote against it or not it will not change the stance of Israel.
...But get the fu*k out from here, if you have a problem with the Israelis not every Ghanaian. Look at how the Arabs are treating Ghanaians and Africans in their country and are you happy about that? Have you heard Israelis treat black Africans in inhumane manner like the Arabs? Arabs are evil and they carry their evil actions to Ghana and Africa, recently an Arab raped his house maid and another put a Ghanaian girl in a blender full of pepper in a restaurant and have you heard of any Israeli doing that to Africans? Where was Mornah when these Arabs in Ghana mistreated Ghanaians? Hypocrite! and a fo*l who will sell his ***barred word*** for a cent.I think this Mirage guy is getting cr*zy by the day due to the lose of the ndc who promised him a juicy position, which is a mirage. Yesterday he was demonstrating against Faure Gnassingbe of Togo in Ghana, today he is on Israeli ambassador who does he think he is? What is PNC in Ghana for him to be raising his shoulders so high like that, he is important to the ndc not Ghana. Kwas*a kwa! Aboafun like that. PNC hold congress early to boot out this ndc st*pid mole in your party, who is making your party much more unpopular.
u may not like monah, but do not sell ur own conscience to an israeli who feels he thinks better than Ghanaians...he must be made to understand Ghanaians are not defined by the israeli thinking. WE HOPE THAT AMBASSADOR WILL LEARN TO RESPECT THE DECISIONS OF GHANA AND PALESTINE, FOR WE KNOW THE TRUE HISTORY OF israel...ok? read authentic research by Arabs and Africans, and not theh ebrew bible of plagiarism and distortions.
well said Henry. is better you people do away with this ndc spy than respect him as your chairman. what does he know about international diplomacy? you guys should organise proper congress and kick him out. bravo haruna for protecting liman's legacy
Is Bernard really the chairman of Dr. Limann"s Party? Why, are you guys short of intelligent people? Bernard is just a ***barred word*** who will follow any issue if someone will pay him. He is not a serious politician.
