The Institute of Economic Affairs (IEA) says plans are far afoot for the organisation of its presidential and vice-presidential debates in October 2024.
According to the institute it has initiated discussions with various political parties to ensure their participation after the concerns raised by the National Democratic Congress (NDC) over a lack of engagement,
Addressing the media, a distinguished fellow of the IEA, Justice Sophia Akuffo explained that the debates will provide the Ghanaian voters with a clearer understanding of each candidate’s policies and offer a platform for candidates to be evaluated.
“The IEA envisages holding the encounters in September and the debates in October and November. After conducting engagements with candidates and their political parties, we will announce the precise date, time, and venue.
We will also urge all to keep themselves updated on the IEA website at www.ieagh.org,” She added.
