The First among the three debates, according to the public policy institute, will take place at the Radash Hotel in Tamale on November 8, 2016 and shall be followed with a Vice-Presidential debate on November 15, 2016 at the Best Western Hotel in Takoradi.
The Second Presidential debate will take place in Accra on November 22, 2016.
Executive Director of the IEA, Jean Mensah in an interview with Accra-based Citi FM said none of the candidates have declined to participate in the debates.
