A distinguished fellow at the Institute of Economic Affairs (IEA), Sophia Akuffo has justified the need for a presidential debate going into the 2024 general elections.
She says the debate will provide a unique platform and opportunity for the candidates to explain in detail their policies for the country while drawing out their credibility and competence.
“While we tackle our challenges, we need vision, courage, and wisdom to shape our common future.
“This highlights the importance of a debate in drawing out the vision, competence, credibility and capacity of candidates in addressing our national challenges,” the former Chief Justice said while announcing dates for the debates this year.
The IEA has set the months of October and November to host debates for selected presidential candidates and their running mates seeking to contest in the December 7 elections.
