The Institute of Economic Affairs (IEA) says plans are far advanced in its preparation to re-organize its flagship Presidential and Vice-Presidential debates.
The IEA also advised the candidates to take advantage of the debates to inform Ghanaians of their visions for the nation ahead of the 2024 election.
The IEA is far advanced in its preparations to reorganize its flagship Presidential and Vice-presidential Debates. The Institute encourages the candidates to take advantage of the debates to inform Ghanaians of their policies to address the country’s challenges,” the Director of Research at the Institute of Economic Affairs (IEA), Dr John Kwakye disclosed in a tweet on Saturday.
Meanwhile, the Flagbearer of the NPP, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, has dared former President Mahama and Flagbearer of the NDC, John Mahama, for a live Presidential debate to explain their respective vision and policies to the people of Ghana.
Addressing thousands of his supporters last night in Bunkpurugu, North East Region, Dr. Bawumia said he was eagerly waiting for a debate with Mahama, but he was less optimistic that would happen because Mahama is “running away.”
“I am looking forward to a debate with John Mahama on the economy, on the country on the governance,’ Dr. Bawumia said.
“But I am afraid that he is running away from a debate. His people say he doesn’t want to debate. I have never heard of an opposition leader who doesn’t want to debate. But he knows I will expose the emptiness of his policies.”
