Presidential debate: Alan will floor Bawumia – Nana Yaa Jantuah
Former General Secretary of the Convention People’s Party (CPP), Nana Yaa Jantuah, has said that the flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia will be defeated in the presidential debate.
In her view, Dr Bawumia has no messages to tout during the debate because he failed as vice president.
Contributing to a discussion on TV3’s Big Issue on Thursday, August 8 regarding the upcoming presidential debate by the Institute of Economic Affairs (IEA), she said “Dr. Bawumia should go and debate Alan Kyerematen, Alan alone will floor him.”
“I wonder why Bawumia is calling for a debate when he knows he will be defeated during the debate,” Nana Yaa Jantuah added.
Meanwhile, a distinguished fellow at the Institute of Economic Affairs (IEA), Sophia Akuffo has justified the need for a presidential debate going into the 2024 general elections.
She says the debate will provide a unique platform and opportunity for the candidates to explain in detail their policies for the country while drawing out their credibility and competence.
“While we tackle our challenges, we need vision, courage, and wisdom to shape our common future.
“This highlights the importance of a debate in drawing out the vision, competence, credibility and capacity of candidates in addressing our national challenges,” the former Chief Justice said while announcing dates for the debates this year.
The IEA has set the months of October and November to host debates for selected presidential candidates and their running mates seeking to contest in the December 7 elections.
Madam Sophia Akufo said the debate has been tailored to establish the credibility and competence of the candidates for electorates to make informed decisions at the poll.
