NDC Guru: Mahama's appearance at IEA was too casual

A member of the communication team of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) has expressed his displeasure with the dress code of two of the Presidential aspirants at the IEA debate in Tamale on Tuesday.

At the just ended Presidential debate organized by the Institute of Economic Affairs (IEA), President John Dramani Mahama of the NDC and Nana Addo Danquah Akufo-Addo of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) were in African fabrics, Hassan Ayariga, of the People’s National Convention (PNC) was in a black suit with a black tie and a white shirt and Dr. Abu Sakara of the Convention People’s Party (CPP) was in a smock.

Expressing his view on Peace FM’s morning show programme "kokrokoo", Benjamin Akyena Brentuo said he was not happy with the dressing of President John Dramani Mahama, flagbearer of the NDC and Nana Addo Danquah Akufo Addo, flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP).

He however, applauded Hassan Ayariga, flagbearer of the People’s National Convention (PNC) for being the "well dressed" candidate at the debate.

"The President was too casual and Nana Addo was even worse...Ayariga carried himself like a President and he dressed to suit the occasion" he posited.
