Dr.
Mahamudu
Bawumia,
the
presidential
candidate
of
the
New
Patriotic
Party
(NPP),
has
chastised
his
counterpart
from
the
National
Democratic
Congress
(NDC),
John
Dramani
Mahama,
for
declining
to
engage
in
a
debate
with
him.
The
spokesperson
of
the
John
Mahama
Campaign
Team,
Joyce
Bawah
Mogtari,
said
there’s
no
need
for
a
debate
between
Mahama
and
Bawumia.
Addressing
party
supporters
during
the
second
phase
of
his
nationwide
campaign
at
Nalerigu
on
Thursday,
July
11,
Dr.
Bawumia
said
Mahama
is
running
away
from
the
debate
because
he
will
defeat
him
hands
down
by
exposing
his
unrealistic
promises.
He
labelled
Mahama
as
“empty
as
an
empty
barrel”.
“I’m
looking
forward
to
a
debate
with
John
Mahama
on
the
economy,
the
governance,
the
country,
but
I’m
afraid
he’s
running
away
from
a
debate.
Isn’t
it?
His
people
are
saying
he
doesn’t
want
to
debate,
he
doesn’t
want
to
debate
because
he
knows
I
will
expose
the
emptiness
of
his
policies,
he
says
he
has
a
24-
economy
that
he
cannot
explain.”
“He’s
as
empty
as
an
empty
barrel.
He
cannot
explain
it,
none
of
his
people
can
explain
it.
They
say
they
will
be
exporting
lions
and
elephants.
But
when
we
meet
man-to-man,
we
can
debate,
and
the
country
will
see
where
our
policies
lie.
And
that
is
where
we
should
go.
We
should
give
the
country
an
opportunity
to
listen
to
us.
But
if
he
refuses,
I
will
continue
to
sell
my
policies
to
the
country,
and
they
will
take
a
decision.”
