Plans Almost Set For Jane Naana Opoku Agyemang To Debate Matthew Opoku Prempeh
The 2024 general election is shaping up to be one of the most interesting elections, with plans almost set for Jane Nana Opoku Agyemang to debate Matthew Opoku Prempeh.
In Ghana, national elections are scheduled in less than five months, sparking calls for the top candidates to participate in a debate so Ghanaians can choose their next leader. The race to the Jubilee House is primarily between two political parties. The National Democratic Congress (NDC), led by John Dramani Mahama, is campaigning hard to regain power after losing the last two elections to President Akufo-Addo. As Akufo-Addo steps down, his vice president, Mahamudu Bawumia, is aiming to succeed him.
Despite Bawumia’s repeated challenges for a debate, Mahama has been reluctant to engage. Mahama seems to be holding out for a strategic moment, avoiding giving Bawumia any chance to improve his standing. With Ghana’s economy struggling, Bawumia is in dire need of a platform to counter criticism. Recently, Mahama’s media interactions have intensified calls for a debate between him and Bawumia.

However, Mahama’s aide, Joyce Bawa-Mogtari, argues that the country’s economic problems are obvious, making further debate unnecessary. Meanwhile, the Institute of Economic Affairs (IEA) is close to arranging a debate between Bawumia and Mahama. The IEA has a history of organizing such events and is also planning debates for the running mates.
The anticipated debate between the running mates, Jane Naana Opoku Agyemang and Matthew Opoku Prempeh (NAPO), promises to be heated. Opoku Prempeh is expected to defend his party’s position, while Opoku Agyemang will likely criticize Bawumia’s performance. The IEA hopes both parties will agree on the debate terms, providing Ghanaians with a credible and informative discussion.
The IEA has been instrumental in facilitating these debates, which play a crucial role in informing the electorate. They believe that a well-structured debate can shed light on the candidates’ policies and visions for Ghana, helping voters make an informed decision.
As preparations for the debates continue, the public’s anticipation is growing. Both Jane Naana Opoku Agyemang and Matthew Opoku Prempeh are experienced and well-versed in their respective fields, which promises a spirited and informative exchange. Their debate will likely focus on key issues such as education, economic recovery, healthcare, and governance.
Jane Naana Opoku Agyemang, a respected academic and former Education Minister, is expected to leverage her experience and track record to critique the current administration’s policies. She will likely emphasize the need for comprehensive reforms and sustainable development.
On the other hand, Matthew Opoku Prempeh, also a former Education Minister and a prominent figure in the New Patriotic Party (NPP), will defend the party’s achievements and outline their plans for continuity and further development. He will aim to highlight the successes of the Akufo-Addo administration and counter any criticisms from the opposition.

The debates, if they proceed as planned, will be a significant event in the lead-up to the elections. They offer an opportunity for the candidates to directly address the concerns of Ghanaians and present their solutions to the nation’s pressing issues.
As the election date draws nearer, the importance of these debates cannot be overstated. They not only provide a platform for candidates to showcase their capabilities but also enhance democratic engagement by allowing voters to compare and contrast the visions and competencies of those vying for the highest offices in the land.
