debates
Accra, Sept. 9,
Ghanadot/GNA – The Institute of Economic Affairs (IEA) is to
review the dates of the two presidential debates following
the decision of the Electoral Commission to accept
presidential and parliamentary nominations on October 16-17.
A statement issued by IEA in Accra on Tuesday said the new
dates for the Northern and Southern sector debates would be
fixed in consultation with the participating political
parties.
It said following a meeting on Monday by the presidential
debates committee, the moderators appeared for a briefing on
the committee’s work so far, the debates and their roles.
The statement said the moderators also made their inputs and
brought their perspectives to bear on the draft programme
evolved by the committee.
It said the committee decided to intersperse the debate with
30-second, pre-recorded peace messages from various
dignitaries and show video footage depicting the after
effects of the electoral strife.
