Debate Bawumia if you want to be President again – Afenyo-Markin to Mahama
Majority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin has urged the National Democratic Congress (NDC) flagbearer, John Dramani Mahama, to accept a presidential debate challenge from the New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia.
Dr Bawumia has challenged Mr Mahama to a debate ahead of the December polls but the 2024 Mahama Campaign Team has declined the offer, arguing that nothing is left to debate about the economy and insisting that Mahama does not need a debate to sell his message.
Addressing journalists in Parliament, Alexander Afenyo-Markin emphasised that John Mahama must accept the offer
“We’re calling on Mahama to accept the invitation by Dr Bawumia for a debate. We don’t want politics of insults, name-calling, insinuations and all. If indeed he’s determined to come back and wants to tell Ghanaians that he’s a changed man, I’m calling on him to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with Dr Bawumia and debate on the issues.
“Dr Bawumia is ready to put the cards on the table. If he says we have not performed as a government, it’s only through a debate that he can put a point across,” the Majority Leader said.
