This was announced by the Director of Communications at the Jubilee House, Mr Eugene Arhin at a press briefing on Thursday, November 11, 2021.
“President Akufo-Addo will from Saturday, November 13, to Saturday, November 20, take a much-deserved, long-overdue 7-day leave of absence during which he has also accepted an invitation to preside over the panel that will adjudicate a debate in the French parliament on the trial of progress on the 19 of November,” Mr Arhin noted.
During the President’s absence, Vice-President Mahamudu Bawumia will “act in his stead” in accordance with Article 60(8) of the 1992 Constitution, Mr Arhin noted.
In May 2018, the President Akufo-Addo took his first annual leave and went vacationing in the UK.
He also went on leave in June 2019.
