The campaign team of National Democratic Congress (NDC) flagbearer John Dramani Mahama has accused the Institute of Economic Affairs (IEA) of sinister moves for the New Patriotic Party (NPP).
This comes after IEA announced a planned presidential debate between NDC flagbearer John Dramani Mahama and NPP flagbearer Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia without informing the opposition party.
In a press release today, the campaign team of the former President has condemned the IEA, questioning the group’s motive ahead of the 2024 general election.
“The Mahama 2024 Campaign strongly condemns the recent announcement by the Institute of Economic Affairs (IA) Ghana regarding a presidential debate for the 2024 elections. It is completely unacceptable that the IEA would make such an announcement without engaging or informing the National Democratic Congress, one of the major political parties in Ghana.
“The Constitution of Ghana does not grant the IEA any authority to organise elections-related activities. The fact that the IEA has not shown the decency or respect to at least inform the NDC of its plans raises serious questions about its motives,” a press release signed by Mahama’s Special Aide, Joyce Bawah Mogtari said on Friday.
The NDC further cautioned the IEA against using the party’s name to promote their activities, insisting that this is a blatant attempt to misrepresent the party deliberately.
“Ghanaians should remain assured that the NDC's commitment to meaningful and respectful engagement with the people of Ghana is unwavering. We will continue to ensure that all Ghanaians' voices are heard and their needs are addressed,” the release added.
