Member of Parliament for Ningo Prampram, Sam Nartey George, has highlighted the importance of voting for Mahama, emphasising the need to protect the Ghanaian culture and family values against homosexuality.
The anti LGBT+ bill, was introduced in August 2021 and approved by Parliament in February 2024.
Though the bill has strong support from religious and traditional leaders and ordinary citizens and opposition from human right activists, the bill still awaits president Nana Akufo Addo’s signature to become law.
Speaking at the final rally for the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Sam George criticized the ruling party’s failure to pass the bill into law, linking a vote for Bawumia and NAPO to support for homosexuality.
“A vote for Bawumia and NAPO is a vote for homosexuality, it is a vote for comprehensive sexuality education and Ghanaians say no to ‘Trumu Trumu’,” he said.
He therefore called on Ghanaians to support Mahama in signing the bill into law to align with the Ghanaian values.
“We need John Dramani Mahama to come and sign the bill into law. If you love the children of Ghana, if you love our family values, if you love your faith as a Christian, if you love your faith as a Muslim, if you love your faith even as a traditionalist, you know that we do not support homosexuality.” He stated.
Sam George also demanded accountability from Napo for funds taken from UNESCO and criticized Bawumia for not taking a stand against President Akufo-Addo on LGBTQ matters.
“Napo must account for the money he took from UNESCO to introduce comprehensive sexuality education. Bawumia should tell us why he has not taken a stand against Akufo-Addo on the LGBTQ matter,” he demanded
