Mahama is avoiding the debate because he knows my records are better than his - Bawumia

The flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP),  Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has criticised the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) flagbearer, John Dramani Mahama, for declining to participate in a presidential debate ahead of the 2024 general elections.

Speaking at the NPP's manifesto launch in Takoradi on Sunday, August 18, Dr. Bawumia underlined the NPP's superior performance across several areas, implying that this is why Mahama is reluctant to participate in a debate.

According to Bawumia the former president is fully aware of the NPP's great accomplishments and thatbis why Mahama is shying away from the presidential debate.

Again, he hinted that Mahama lacked the bravery and confidence to showcase his vision and objectives alongside Dr. Bawumia's, giving Ghanaians a clear choice in the general elections on December 7, 2024.

“It is crystal clear that from the data we have given that our overall performance and track record are superior to that of my opponent and his party. In virtually every sector, we are superior. But I believe as a former president and proud student of history, he knows that and that’s one part of the reasons why he’s avoiding a debate,"he stated.

“Another part of course is about the courage and confidence to put what he intends to do differently this time around with the power he seeks side by side with the vision I have for Ghana and the clear road map to getting the work done. That is the choice we are presenting to you the Ghanaian voter on December 7," he added.
