The Institute of Economic Affairs (IEA) Ghana says it has not engaged any political party ahead of its impending presidential and vice presidential debates in the lead up to the December polls.
This follows a statement from the Mahama 2024 Campaign accusing the IEA for not engaging or informing the National Democratic Congress (NDC), one of Ghana’s major political parties, before making the announcement.
The Mahama 2024 Campaign claimed in a press statement that, the Constitution does not grant the IEA any authority to organize elections-related activities.
“The Constitution of Ghana does not grant the IEA any authority to organise elections-related activities. The fact that the IEA has not shown the decency or respect to at least inform the NDC of its plans raises serious questions about its motives,” the release signed by Mr Mahama’s spokesperson Joyce Mogtari indicated.
But the IEA in another statement insisted that none of the political parties in the country has been contacted for the debate.
