President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo chose not to directly address an economic question when he voted at the New Patriotic Party (NPP) headquarters in Accra.

In response, he inquired whether the time and place were suitable for such a discussion.

After participating in the November 4 Presidential Primaries of his party, reporters approached the president, posing inquiries about his observations of the process and his opinions on the potential winner of the flagbearership race among the four contenders.

"It is the people who decide,” he said before a question on the economy was asked by another journalist.

“Mr President, would you say you’ve managed the economy well?” the yet-to-be-identified journalist asked.

Pausing briefly and turning to the direction of the said journalist, the president retorted, “You want me to come and have this interview here today?”

After making this statement, the president signalled to the party's general secretary, Justin Kodua Frimpong, with a nod, indicating his readiness to leave the centre.

The NPP is holding a crucial election to choose its flagbearer for the upcoming 2024 general elections in Ghana. This election is significant as it aims to break the traditional eight-year election cycle pattern in the country.

There are four contenders in this flagbearer race.

Among them, Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia is considered a frontrunner, while Kennedy Ohene Agyapong, the Member of Parliament for Assin Central, is expected to be a strong competitor, particularly after his surprising second-place finish in the party's Super Delegates Conference, which took place in August.
