This initiative aims to encourage elections in Ghana that are centered around important issues. The specific date for the debates will be disclosed during the launch of IEA’s Election Activities.
According to a statement released on July 17, 2024, IEA highlighted that the debates will offer a shared platform for potential candidates to delve into different facets of the country’s progress.
It will be a form of policy dialogue engagement during which the Candidates will have the opportunity to present their viewpoints, plans, and programs, and also point out weaknesses in the policies of their co-contestants and present alternatives to those policies and programs.
The discussions will encompass a wide range of topics, such as the economy, governance, natural resources, agriculture, education, health, labor, gender, children, youth, and other societal concerns.
Consequently, the Institute urged all candidates to utilize the debates as an opportunity to enlighten the Ghanaian populace about their strategies for tackling the nation’s difficulties.
