The Institute of Economic Affairs (IEA) has announced plans to host its flagship Presidential and Vice-Presidential Debates ahead of the December 2024 General Elections.
This announcement is part of IEA’s broader efforts to promote issue-based elections in Ghana.
The Debates are designed to serve as a platform for Presidential and Vice-Presidential candidates to discuss and deliberate on various facets of the nation’s development.
Candidates will engage in policy dialogues, presenting their viewpoints, plans, and programmes.
They will also critique the policies of their rivals and offer alternative solutions.
IEA’s initiative aims to provide voters with detailed insights into each candidate’s programmes and plans.
The Debates will feature questions from moderators based on public submissions, addressing a wide range of thematic areas including the economy, governance, natural resources, agriculture, education, health, labour, gender, children, youth, and other social issues.
The exact dates for the Debates will be announced during the launch of IEA’s Election Activities.
The Institute is urging all candidates to participate, highlighting that the Debates offer a significant opportunity to inform Ghanaians about their policies and approaches to addressing the country’s challenges.
