The vice presidential debate is planned for Tuesday, 5 November 2024.
As part of its election programming, the IEA will also host five “Evening Encounters,” designed to provide a direct platform for presidential candidates to interact with the electorate.

Meanwhile, the main National Democratic Congress (NDC) has announced that its flagbearer, John Dramani Mahama, will not be participating in the IEA debates.
The party cited concerns about the IEA’s credibility as the reason for the decision.
