The flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama, has responded to President Akufo-Addo's call for him to debate Vice President Dr.

Mahamudu Bawumia.

Speaking to supporters in the Ningo Prampram Constituency of the Greater Accra region, Mr Mahama dismissed the idea of a debate with Bawumia, stating that engaging with him would only serve to elevate the Vice President.

The comments from Mr Mahama came after President Akufo-Addo suggested that Mr Mahama was avoiding a debate with Dr Bawumia because he feared the Vice President would expose the weaknesses in his policies.
