The flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama has reiterated his opposition to LGBTQ+ activities.
The former President has therefore pledged to intensify efforts to combat it when he is elected on December 7, 2024.
Mr Mahama said this during a meeting with the clergy in Accra on Tuesday October 1 as he expressed concerns over the delayed passage of the anti-LGBTQ+ bill by President Nana Akufo-Addo.
He emphasised that as a Christian, such practices have no place in the church and therefore pledged his commitment to strengthening legislation aimed at curbing the influence and practices of the LGBTQ+ in Ghana.
He assured religious leaders that his government would prioritise this issue and ensure the swift enactment of the anti-LGBTQ+ law once he assumed office.
“My faith doesn’t permit same-sex marriages or relationships, nor does it endorse human-animal relationships or allow people to change their gender as they wish.
“This is a fundamental belief that I hold, and it is grounded in my faith. I therefore assure you that the promotion of LGBTQ+ will have no place in our schools and communities,” he stated.
Akufo-Addo is yet to sign the bill, citing ongoing legal challenges at the Supreme Court, which has further stalled its progress.
