The Institute of Economic Affairs (IEA) has inaugurated a 9-member presidential debate committee to engage political parties ahead of the 2024 general elections.
The institute previously announced plans to host presidential and vice-presidential debates in October and November, respectively.
The committee includes Justice Sophia Akuffo, Dr. Humphrey Ayim-Darke, Dr Abukari Mohammed Marzaq Azindoo, Rev. Father Charles Boampong Sarfo, and Most Reverend Dr. Paul Kwabena Boafo, among others.
Addressing the media, the Chairperson of the committee Justice Sophia Akuffo expressed the committee’s readiness to begin its work and ensure the participation of political parties.
“The presidential debate committee is to enhance the credibility of the debate process by making it more people-centred and issue-based. Specifically, the date aims to achieve a unique platform for presidential candidates to outline their policies and visions of governance for the country.
“To inform and empower citizens to make informed decisions at the elections. To promote peace, before, during and after the elections.”

If the Institute of Economic Affairs cared about Ghana's progress, it wouldn't have been quiet over the NPP government's threats that it would never hand over power.
