“There are two new initiatives under discussion for 2016 elections. First the IEA is exploring the possibility of holding a debate for the two main front-runners in the presidential election… The second is that we are at an advanced stage about holding a separate debate for political parties without representation in parliament," a Senior Research Fellow at IEA, Dr. Michael Ofori-Mensah told the media during the launch of the IEA’s Presidential Debates and Evening Encounters in Accra.
Since 2000, IEA has organised the Presidential Debate prior to Ghana’s general elections.
The platform has seen aspiring presidential candidates answer questions on job creation, agriculture, healthcare, private sector development, energy sector, taxation, retail trading and education.

In 2012, flag-bearers of all registered political parties were featured in the debate.
