In such situations, the appropriateness of a question and the decision to answer it ultimately depend on the specific circumstances, the press conference's purpose, and the discretion of the individual being questioned. Politicians often face questions about their performance and policy decisions, and it's common for them to respond in a way that aligns with their communication strategy or political objectives.
The NPP is conducting its internal elections with over 200,000 delegates from across the country participating in the process to select the party's presidential candidate for the 2024 election.
The competition primarily involves Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, Member of Parliament for Assin Central Kennedy Agyapong, former Agriculture Minister Dr. Owusu Afriyie Akoto, and former Mampong Member of Parliament Francis Addai-Nimoh.
