The New Patriotic Party's (NPP) flagbearer, Dr.

Mahamudu Bawumia, has issued a bold call to former President John Mahama, urging him to face off in a direct debate rather than relying on what he termed "flimsy questions." This challenge comes after Mahama publicly posed five questions to Dr.

Bawumia, echoing the 170 questions Bawumia himself had posed to then-Vice President Paa Kwesi Amissah-Arthur in 2016.

Speaking to NDC supporters in Tatale on October 28, Mahama had posed his own set of pressing questions.
