  But still you can help but understand her especialy when you are able to you discern the grand agenda by the NDC and the EC to frustrate her work. You may recollect how the EC and NDC quite misterously came together to boycott an event the IEA organized and invited the ec boss of Nigeria. Clearly the NDC had decided a long time ago not take part in a debate.

  Both IEA & NCCE should try hard to make peace with imperfections, seek first to understand, become better listeners, choose battles wisely, & work together in the interest of Ghana.
  
  Both organizations must set out to work together to come up with pertinent debate questions to pose to the presidential candidates. With provisions to translate the debate questions & the answers given by the candidates into our local languages.

  Debating in English does not reach the majority of Ghanaians, but these rural folks must hear what the presidential candidates are debating about. They are citizens aren't they? Tarzan raises a good point, the debates must be translated into our different dialects.

  Well stated. Any group can organise the debates so long as the candidates attend. NCCE would contribute to a better debate by insisting the declaration of the assets of all presidential candidates during the debate. This would pave the way towards fighting corruption.

  Good piece Dr. Wireko-Brobbey! Why a party should throw away such a master-mind beats belief. To win 2016 elections NPP must bring back Tarzan to the fold before June gives in to July, please.

  If the format has favored IEA a nongovernmental institution why change it? At any rate will the NCCE do a good job, it risks emershing itself in endless controversy depending on how a presidential debate goes under NCCE and it will be prudent to avoid organizing such a debate altogether. A presidential debate is complicated irrespective of its immense public value and even perception of bias in any form could prove disastrous for a public institution like the NCCE.
