During a nationwide tour, President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo raised questions about why former President John Dramani Mahama is avoiding a debate with Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia. The proposed Mahama Bawumia debate would allow voters to hear both candidates present their policies ahead of the 2024 elections.

President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has challenged former President John Dramani Mahama to engage in a public debate with Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia. He argued that a debate between Mahama and Bawumia would provide an opportunity for voters to evaluate their choices ahead of the upcoming elections.

“Bawumia is someone who is reliable and is someone who can be trusted and someone who is clear minded and that is why majority of Ghanaians are saying that they want Mahama to debate Bawumia on the key issues of our country. Why is John Mahama running away from the debate? Bawumia says he is ready any day to debate. So why is Mahama running away from the debate,” he said.

President Akufo-Addo suggested that the former President is avoiding the debate because he is unable to stand up to the Vice President’s arguments and track record.

“The people of Ghana deserve the debate so they can see who is doing what and who is saying what. Mr. Mahama which is which? What should the Ghanaian people take from you as your position on the Free SHS policy? Is it safe with you and are you going to continue with it or are you going to cancel it? Nobody should be allowed to be president if he can’t answer this question straightforward,” Akufo-Addo stated.

He insisted that Mahama’s refusal to honour the invitation for a debate does a disservice to Ghanaians, who are eager for a transparent discussion of the issues at stake. He further reiterated that engaging in open debate is crucial for democracy and that both candidates should take this opportunity to showcase their visions for Ghana’s future.
