Media personality Bridget Otoo recently stated that she would withhold her vote from former President John Dramani Mahama in the upcoming December 7 general elections if he agrees to debate the New Patriotic Party’s flagbearer, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia.
Otoo expressed strong reservations about giving Dr. Bawumia the platform and attention she believes he does not deserve, labeling him as “chronic, unrepentant, untruthful.”
“I will vote against John Mahama if he debates Bawumia! We are not giving a platform to that chronic, unrepentant, untruthful person,” parts of her tweet read.
Instead, she suggested that if the NPP desires a debate for their flagbearer, it should be organized among candidates from various parties excluding the National Democratic Congress (NDC).
“They can organize a debate for other candidates with him!,” Otoo suggested.
Otoo referenced President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo’s election success despite not participating in debates, noting that presidential debates have been a fixture in Ghana’s electoral process since 2000, organized by the Institute of Economic Affairs (IEA).
“Nana Addo stayed away from debates and he did just fine!!!,” the broadcast journalist said.
