Ghana’s Parliament has passed a strong anti-LGBTQ Bill, and the Bill is now awaiting Presidential accent.

But in his address, Dr. Bawumia said, he personally does not support the practice of LGBTQ, and his belief is consistent with the stance of his religion, Islam, other religions, as well as the social and cultural norms of Ghana.

“I cannot support that which my religion, and indeed, all the major religions in Ghana clearly and unequivocally forbid. All the major religious traditions in Ghana (Christianity and Islam) are opposed to this practice and I stand opposed to it now and I will stand opposed to it as President, Insha Allah”
