Majority Leader in Parliament, Hon. Alexander Afenyo-Markin, has invited National Democratic Congress (NDC) flagbearer John Dramani Mahama to engage in a debate on national issues.
Speaking to the media after the mid-year budget review presented by Dr. Mohammed Amin Adam in parliament on July 23, 2024, he emphasized the need for a debate instead of resorting to insults and name-calling.
“We are calling on President Mahama to accept Dr. Bawumia’s invitation for a debate, where we can discuss the issues at hand,” Hon. Afenyo-Markin stated.
“If indeed he is determined to return to office and claims to be a changed man, then he should stand shoulder to shoulder with Dr. Bawumia and engage in a debate on the issues. Dr. Bawumia is ready to present his achievements and policies.”
He continued, “If John Mahama claims that Dr. Bawumia has not performed well as Vice President, then he should expose him through a debate. We are ready for a debate to ensure decency in our politics and to bring out the best in us as a political class.
Ghanaians want change, development, and employment, and debating the issues is the best way to achieve this. Therefore, Mr. Mahama should not shy away from the debate.
