Mahama shouldn’t join any presidential debate, he needs no public validation – Bridget Otoo
Ghanaian broadcaster Bridget Otoo has advised National Democratic Congress (NDC) flagbearer John Dramani Mahama against taking part in any presidential debates.
She believes that Mahama’s established political status speaks for itself and does not require validation through debate participation.
Otoo pointed out that Mahama’s main rival, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has a history of abstaining from such debates.
She argued that Mahama should not lower his status by engaging in debates with Bawumia as the election day approaches.
She expressed her opinion on social media, stating, “I hope John Mahama doesn’t join any debate! The driver didn’t want to debate JM but JM should descend into the lying den of the mate! No thank you.”
These comments came after Franklin Cudjoe, President of IMANI Africa, announced the upcoming 2024 Institute of Economic Affairs (IEA) presidential debate, scheduled before the general elections.
Cudjoe mentioned that journalists Emefa Apawu and Evans Mensah would play crucial roles in the debate.
As the election draws closer, it remains uncertain whether Mahama will confirm his participation in the upcoming debate.
