The flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama, has firmly reiterated his opposition to engaging in a debate with Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, the flagbearer of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP).
This comes after President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo challenged Mahama to debate Bawumia on key national issues ahead of the December 7 elections.
Speaking at a mini-rally in Prampram as part of his Greater Accra Region campaign, Mahama defended his record as president and dismissed the calls for a debate.
He argued that a debate with Bawumia would not elevate the conversation and maintained that his achievements during his presidency should speak for themselves.
Mahama criticised Bawumia’s economic management, noting the hardships faced by Ghanaians under the current government. He further stated that engaging in a debate would only serve to give Bawumia an undeserved platform.
“Nana Akufo-Addo was asking me why I’m refusing to debate Bawumia. You know, Bawumia doesn’t deserve a debate. He is losing this election. I will not elevate him to my level and go and sit and debate him.
“Their campaign is failing. They have no message and so, he wants to be elevated to my level. No. No. No. No. I know my level,” he said.
