Election 2024: IMANI invites Bawumia, Mahama for a debate

IMANI Center for Policy and Education has invited the flagbearers of the two main political parties to a political debate ahead of the 2024 general elections.

In a Facebook post, IMANI announced that they have received a response from the office of John Dramani Mahama, the flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) but still awaiting a response from Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, the flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP).

The debate will also feature both parties’ National Chairmen and General Secretaries.

“We have invited the leadership of the two leading political parties for a debate. The flagbearers, General Secretaries and Chairmen. We have had a reply from John Dramani Mahama’s office- tentative though, and we wait. Yet to hear from Dr Bawumia and his team.”

In a letter dated June 27, 2024, addressed to Dr. Bawumia, Franklin Cudjoe, the Founding President and CEO of IMANI, stated that the details of the event, including the date and venue, will be communicated shortly

“I trust this letter finds you. On behalf of the IMANI Center for Policy and Education, I am pleased to extend a formal invitation to your esteemed party (The New Patriotic Party) to participate in the upcoming National Election Debate. A schedule of the event’s date and venue will be communicated to your office soon. The debate aims to provide a critical platform for the major political parties in Ghana to present their policies and vision to the electorate in the lead-up to the 2024 general elections.”

IMANI believes that a national debate provides an invaluable opportunity for political parties to articulate their positions on key issues, promote transparency, and engage with voters in a substantive and meaningful way

“The forthcoming elections represent a pivotal moment in Ghana’s democratic journey. As a think tank committed to fostering informed public discourse and democratic engagement, IMANI believes that a national debate offers an invaluable opportunity for political parties to articulate their positions on key issues, promote transparency, and engage with voters on a substantive level.”
