A member of the committee formed by the Institute of Economic Affairs (IEA) to oversee the 2024 Presidential and Vice Presidential debates, Dr. Humphery Ayim-Darke, has assured that the committee is committed to engaging with political parties and candidates to ensure full participation.
The National Democratic Congress (NDC) had previously declared its intention not to participate in the debate, citing a lack of prior consultation.
However, in an interview, Dr. Ayim-Darke expressed optimism, noting that discussions are ongoing to encourage all qualified candidates to take part in the debate.
“We are in active engagement with the political parties, and we believe that at the right time, we will clearly state our position. The IEA has a long history of organizing these debates.
“There have been instances where some political parties did not respond to the invitation, yet the IEA proceeded with the debates. We trust that when the time comes, the situation will naturally evolve.
“History is on our side, and we remain committed to engaging with all political parties. We strongly believe that those who aspire to govern must be willing to subject themselves to scrutiny by the citizens. Our doors remain open for further engagement,” he told Citi News.
