Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, the Flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has thrown down the gauntlet, challenging former President John Dramani Mahama, the Flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), to a live presidential debate. Apexnewsgh reports
Addressing a large crowd of supporters in Bunkpurugu, North East Region, Dr. Bawumia expressed his eagerness to engage in a debate with Mahama, but doubts the latter’s willingness to accept the challenge.
“I’m looking forward to a debate with John Mahama on the economy, governance, and the country’s development,” Dr. Bawumia said. “But I’m afraid he’s running away from a debate. His team says he doesn’t want to debate. I’ve never heard of an opposition leader who shies away from a debate.”
Dr. Bawumia accused Mahama of being unable to explain his “24-hour economy” policy, describing it as “empty” and “unexplainable.” He believes a debate would expose the weaknesses in Mahama’s policies and urged him to accept the challenge.
In a democratic tradition, presidential debates are essential, and many, including civil society groups, have called for a debate between the two leading candidates. With Dr. Bawumia throwing the challenge, the ball is now in Mahama’s court.
The debate would provide an opportunity for both candidates to present their vision and policies to the people of Ghana, enabling them to make informed decisions at the polls. Will Mahama accept the challenge, or will he avoid the debate, as Dr. Bawumia suspects? The nation waits with bated breath.
