In a direct response, President Nana Akufo-Addo discussed Ghana’s economic management with a journalist.
The NPP has scheduled November 4 to select a candidate to represent the party in the general elections of 2024. This exchange took place on that day.
Following his vote, he answered the following question to the media: “Do you think you’ve managed the economy well?”
The answer from President Nana Addo to this query was, “‘You want me to have this interview here today?”
Netizens have been debating whether the president should have responded to the question and whether it was appropriate.
Given the backdrop of an ongoing election within the party, some may view it as a delicate subject, while others believe it was a harmless question.
In these cases, the appropriateness of a question and the choice of whether to respond to it ultimately depend on the particulars, the goal of the press conference, and the subject’s judgment. When questioned about their performance or policy choices, politicians frequently respond in a way that advances their political goals or communication plan.
More than 200,000 delegates from all over the nation are taking part in the NPP’s internal elections, which are being held to choose the party’s presidential candidate for the 2024 election.
