Instead of directly answering Mahama's queries, Dr.
Bawumia presented a list of 50 questions of his own, aimed at scrutinising Mahama's track record as a former president and inviting him to a public debate.
Framing this as an opportunity for a thorough public assessment, Dr.
Bawumia suggested that a direct debate would allow Ghanaians to fairly evaluate each candidate's policies, achievements, and leadership potential. "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 remarked.
