The much anticipated Presidential debate for candidates will be considered for only the two major political parties for now, Institute of Economic Affairs(IEA) has said.

The IEA says the decision is premised on a survey it conducted in Ghana, which the results clearly demand just a showdown of separate encounter between the Presidential Candidate of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama and that of New Patriotic Party(NPP), Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.

The institute has however announced that it will hold a separate debate for all parties without representation in parliament later.

The IEA debate has become institutionalised on Ghana’s political calendar where mostly presidential candidates are given the platform to discuss their policies and programmes.

They are also allotted time to take questions from the electorate and respond.

NPP’s Akuffo-Addo, John Dramani Mahama and the then Presidential Candidate for the CPP, Dr Abu Sakara featured in a similar debate four years ago.
