Nkonkonsa Celebrity Gossip From Africa
Prominent media personality, Bridget Otoo, has offered a piece of advice to former President and flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama pertaining to his participation in debates prior to the 2024 general elections.
She said that if it were up to her alone, John Mahama wouldn’t take part in the debate that the National Commission for Civic Education (NCCE) is planning, which is typically held before elections are held.
Although she did not state why she believed John Mahama should withdraw from the discussion, Bridget Otoo made it apparent that she was against him taking part.
“I hope John Mahama doesn’t take part [NCCE debate],” She wrote on her X page in reaction to GhanaWeb’s post which says “ NCCE to organize debate for flagbearers, Parliamentary Candidates next year.”
This comes after the NCCE as part of its outlined programmes for next year, noted that it would organise a debate for flag bearers of contesting political parties and Parliamentary candidates ahead of the 2024 General elections.
The Commission’s chair, Madam Kathleen Addy, stated that the debate will provide flag bearers and independent candidates a chance to explain their platforms and objectives to the public, and parliamentary candidates a chance to engage with voters in their respective constituencies.
“Apart from these, the debate will also serve as a tension breaker. Because whilst political party candidates may create different platforms for their campaigns, this common platform will let them come together and show to the people that, look, we are not enemies, we are just competing candidates at an election,” she said.
