Joyce
Bawah
Mogtari,
the
spokesperson
for
the
John
Mahama
Campaign
Team,
has
rejected
calls
for
a
pre-election
debate
between
the
NDC
flagbearer
and
Dr
Mahamudu
Bawumia
the
flagbearer
of
the
NPP.
Despite
appeals
from
political
analysts
and
other
stakeholders,
Bawah
Mogtari
dismissed
the
idea
of
a
debate
between
the
two
major
contenders.
In
an
interview
on
The
Point
of
View
on
Channel
One
TV,
Bawah
Mogtari
praised
Mahama’s
exceptional
energy
and
vast
knowledge
but
unexpectedly
hesitated
to
accept
a
debate
invitation.
She
asserted
that
the
current
state
of
the
government’s
performance
renders
a
debate
unnecessary,
expressing
supreme
confidence
in
John
Mahama’s
ability
to
outshine
any
presidential
aspirant
in
a
debate.
She
implied
that
the
NDC’s
presidential
candidate
is
so
well-prepared
and
knowledgeable
that
a
debate
would
only
serve
to
further
highlight
his
superiority,
making
it
an
unnecessary
endeavour
at
this
point.
“I
personally
have
no
appetite
for
a
debate,
I
think
that
we
debate
when
we
literally
know
that
our
issues
are
probably
parallel…When
I
look
at
what
we
have,
when
I
look
at
the
current
trajectory,
when
I
look
at
the
failings
of
this
particular
administration,
I
ask
myself
why
do
we
need
to
put
up
with
a
debate?
But
of
course,
this
is
a
decision
that
the
upper
people
usually
will
make.
“It’s
not
my
decision
to
make,
as
the
debates
and
conversations
go
along,
maybe
eventually
some
conversations
will
happen
around
it,
and
of
course,
who
knows?
“We
do
know
all
about
the
debates
between
John
Mahama
and
then
candidate
Akufo-Addo
and
we
know
who
won
those
debates.
So,
I
believe
that
the
fact
that
Mr
Mahama
is
a
man
whose
energy
and
knowledge
is
unparallel
is
not
in
doubt.
And
I’m
sure
on
any
day,
whomever,
I
know
he’s
going
to
win
the
debate.
But
I
don’t
think
that
immediately
I
will
want
to
see
that
you
put
them
through
strict
proof
first,”
she
told
host
Bernard
Avle.
