NDP’s Nana Konadu set for July 27 IEA encounter

The flagbearer of the National Democratic Party (NDP), Nana Konadu Agyeman-Rawlings, will take her turn at the Institute of Economic Affairs (IEA)’s Evening Encounters on Wednesday July 27, 2016.

Nana Konadu, who broke away from the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC) – a party founded by her husband, Jerry John Rawlings, was confirmed back in May as the Presidential Candidate of the NDP for the elections.

The programme will be the third of four scheduled events with the presidential candidates of the People’s National Convention (PNC), New Patriotic Party (NPP), Convention People’s Party (CPP) and the NDP and will be broadcast live on Citi 97.3 FM.

The flagbearer of the the PNC, Dr. Edward Mahama, was the first at the Evening Encounter series and promised, among other things, to decouple the Attorney General’s department from the Ministry of Justice and make fixing the power crisis his top priority .

Ivor Greenstreet, who was elected the flagbearer of the CPP earlier this year, promised to set up a credible National Identification system after six months of assuming office and deal with corruption in state institutions.

He also stated that, his party would  provide cheap electricity for Ghanaians by tapping into the wind resource should they be voted into power.

The flagbearer of the NPP, Nana Akufo Addo, who was initially set to appear at the IEA platform on July 5, will now do so on August 9.

The governing National Democratic Congress (NDC) and the Progressive People’s Party (PPP), have decided to boycott the IEA’s events after a disagreement with the Institute over its failure to engage the parties enough in its plans for the debates ahead of the polls.
