Kwakye Ofosu explained that nobody can become President in Ghana if they don’t allow themselves to be scrutinised by the electorates.

“NPP wants to grandfather their flagbearer into the flagstaff house as president without any scrutiny and that is not possible. They don’t like it when their flagbearer is scrutinised that is the only reason why they are unable to show up at any debate.”

He questioned why Nana Addo has allegedly backtracked from contesting in the IEA presidential encounter where his turn had been postponed twice.

“Nana Addo himself has not been to the IEA has he? Despite the fact that they(IEA) have bent backwards for the party. I am certain the IEA will not do same for the CPP, PNC, APC or any smaller party. Even a monologue, involving himself he doesn’t want to go just go and stand there and tell the people of Ghana what you have in stock for them without any opponent he has not showed up despite two postponements.”

“So on what basis is it being suggested that we have not shown interest in the IEA, the opposition has not shown interest in the IEA debate either.”
