Watch it live here: seven leading candidates to debate Tuesday evening



With the parliamentary elections around the corner, the Paperjam+Delano Business Club is holding its fourth and final debate on Tuesday 19 September at 7pm. Seven of the leading candidates will be taking part in the event, held at PwC's Crystal Park.

Against a backdrop of housing difficulties, a delicate economic situation marked by high inflation and cracks in national cohesion, the Paperjam+Delano Business Club is hosting a debate in which seven of the candidates can share their views with voters.
