Presidential candidate of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, has once again challenged former President John Dramani Mahama to debate him.
He reiterated that the former president has refused to debate him because he does not have a solid track record as a former leader.
Addressing supporters in Dansoman on August 27, 2024, the Vice President opined that debates were crucial in every election and the formw leader ought to accept the challenge.
He said he did not understand why Mr. Mahama has refused to bear him just like it is done in other known democratic countries.
“The former President knows he cannot compete because, in every sector of the economy, the records show that we have performed far better than him.
“That’s why I challenged him: if he believes he performed better in any sector, he should come for an open debate. But he is afraid, so he is running away from a debate.”
“He won’t come for the debate because he knows his bad record will be exposed. If he comes for the debate, I will show him something,” Dr. Bawumia said.
He also touched on the hardship experienced under Mahama and how the NDC opposed the implementation of the free SHS policy.
“We have not forgotten all these bad records… We are moving forward. We are making progress with digitalisation. As president, he could not provide chalk to schools, but we have provided laptops to senior high school students. This is the progress the country has made, and we want to move forward and make it even better,” Dr. Bawumia added.
