The Mahama 2024 Campaign has issued a strong condemnation of the Institute of Economic Affairs (IEA) Ghana over its recent announcement.
Earlier this week, the institute announced a vice presidential debate ahead of the December polls.
The campaign criticised the IEA for not engaging or informing the National Democratic Congress (NDC), one of Ghana's major political parties, before making the announcement.
In a press statement, the Mahama 2024 Campaign emphasised that the Constitution does not grant the IEA any authority to organize elections-related activities.
"The Constitution of Ghana does not grant the IEA any authority to organise elections-related activities. The fact that the IEA has not shown the decency or respect to at least inform the NDC of its plans raises serious questions about its motives," the release signed by Mr Mahama's spokesperson Joyce Mogtari indicated.
The campaign, on Friday, accused the IEA of lacking the decency and respect to inform the NDC of its plans, raising questions about the institute's motives.
The campaign further alleged that the IEA is "acting as a front for the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and seeks to manipulate the electoral process in favour of the ruling party."
The statement said Mr Mahama's conversations have targeted a wide range of audiences and focused on addressing the needs and concerns of the people of Ghana.
The Mahama 2024 Campaign cautioned the IEA against using the NDC's name to promote its activities, describing it as a blatant attempt to misrepresent the party.
The statement concluded by assuring Ghanaians that the NDC remains committed to meaningful and respectful engagement with the people of Ghana, ensuring that all voices are heard and their needs addressed.
