The Vice President and flag bearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, has responded to the former President and presidential candidate of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama, on the five questions posed to him.

John Mahama had asked Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia to answer some questions on the economy and why under his tenure as Head of the Economic Management Team, the cedi is performing at its worse in the country’s history.

This was in reaction to some 170 questions Dr. Bawumia had asked then former Vice President, Paa Kwesi Bekoe Amissah-Arthur, whilst in opposition.

At a campaign rally in the Northern region, John Mahama asked Bawumia to avoid the 170 questions he asked Amissah-Arthur and answer just five questions Ghanaians want a response from him.

Following the questions, the Vice President on his X Wednesday, October 30, 2024, responded to the former President by also asking him some questions to respond to.

He asked John Mahama not to hide behind what he describes as “flimsy questions” to avoid the presidential debate he has been calling for.

“I have just read questions posed to me by former President Mahama. I would have thought he would be man enough to face me in a one-on-one debate for the Ghanaian public to assess our respective policies, achievements and visions. He should not hide behind these flimsy questions to avoid a debate. Come for a debate and I can ask the moderators to ask me these five flimsy questions. But I have many more substantive questions for him,” he stated.
