The New Patriotic Party (NPP) is demanding answers to its 170 questions on the economy it considers the request for a debate between its Flagbearer, Nana Akufo-Addo and President John Mahama.
“We would only debate this president if he [Mahama] is minded to respond to the 170 questions we had put to before this president about the state of this country’s economy,” a deputy communications director of the NPP, Anthony Karbo said on Eyewitness News.
The 170 questions were laid out by the NPP running mate, Dr, Mahamadu Bawumia during his lectureon the state of the Ghanaian economy in September which had scathing words for the governing National Democratic Congress.
President Mahama has since rubbished such claims as misinformation and has been requesting a fact based debate with Nana Akufo-Addo to settle issues on the economy among others.
But Mr. Karbo has said, “We asked this President 170 questions on this economy; on his leadership as vice President and head of the Economic Management Team and as the President of the Republic for the last four years.”
“The President blindly ignores us, refuses to answer these questions, none of his appointees even responds and yet the President expects a response from us to a challenge.”
This demand notwithstanding, Mr. Karbo believes that Ghanaians have already made up their minds at this stage and debate would do little to change that.
“We don’t believe that this debate is what will settle the issue. The Ghanaian people have made up their minds already. They have a fair assessment of all the various candidates going into this election. The track record of these people will speak to why Ghanaians will have to make this ultimate but important choice on December 7,” he said.
He also urged the government to be more preoccupied to accounting to the citizenry ahead of the polls and not debating the NPP adding that “the critical issues that Ghanaians must understand before making a decision on December 7 are ingrained in these 170 questions.”

how on this earth can mahama debate Nana Addo? maybe you don't know the background of their knowledge and what they have done with their knowledge in the past. a typical ndc man who don't read but follow propaganda. don't ever compare Mahama to Akkufo Addo in terms of one on one debate.
This Mahama guy is CONFUSED! He does not know what to do now that he has seen that he is Loosing BIG TIME. The guy like this today and tomorrow he changes his mind. NPP don't mind Mahama. He will tell you after you have accepted the challenge that he is no more interested in the debate. By which time you have wasted all your time preparing. IT IS DIVERSIONAY TACTICE! VOTE NDC OUT Nov. 2016.
Kabo, please tell Nana Addo NOT TO BE DISTRADED by Mahama/NDC debate propaganda. Continue with your GOOD MESSAGE! The man does not know what to do. Today 'I will not do this, tomorrow I will do it'. He is confused. Ghanaians suffering under his EVIL leadership have already made up their minds. VOTE MAHAMA/NDC OUT Nov. 2016
I am pleading with the NPP to make the 170 questions multiple choice if not it will take Mahama more than 10 years to respond
running away nobody taani dohs...PK started responding to bawulies long time ago...one response, one rally... we are talking about flagbearer to flagbearer, not trotro mate to trotro mate. its obvious Nana Addo cannot debate mahama on one on one basis.
