The Vice President and NPP presidential candidate, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia has declared his readiness to sign the controversial anti gay bill into law when he becomes President.
The bill, which was unanimously passed by Parliament, is currently awaiting presidential assent but the process stalled following a legal challenge at the Supreme Court over its constitutionality.
Nonetheless, Dr. Bawumia has stated unequivocally that he will sign the bill into law as President.
Addressing thousands of worshippers in Kumasi at the Philadelphia Church on Sunday, Bawumia minced no words about his readiness to put the controversial issue to bed.
"There are so many issues which are dear to so many people and our father...There are two issues in Parliament which are of importance to many Ghanaians. One is the LGBTQ+ bill which is so dear to our father and Ghanaians. By the grace of God, when I come I will sign it immediately...Another issue which is so serious to our father and Ghanaians is the anti-witchcraft bill which I will sign as well", Dr. Bawumia said.
Throughout his campaign, Dr. Bawumia has been stating his strong opposition to the practice of LGBTQ+ in Ghana, insisting it is against the cultural and religious norms of Ghana.
