Meanwhile, John Dramani Mahama has revealed that the Anti-LGBTQI bill would be introduced as a state-sponsored bill in parliament.
He announced that in consultation with the Speaker of Parliament, the anti-LGBT bill would be reintroduced in Parliament as a Government-sponsored bill rather than a bill sponsored by private members.
According to President Mahama, as a Christian, he upholds the values that only two genders exist, man and woman and that marriage is between a man and woman.
Speaking during his fellowship with the Clergy at the Accra International Conference Centre (AICC) on Friday, February 28, 2025, he stated, “I as a Christian, uphold the values that only two genders exist as man and woman and that the marriage is between a man and woman.
“I have spoken with the Speaker so that a renewal of the expired Proper Family Values Bill should be a bill that is introduced by the government rather than as a private member motion”, he added.
President Mahama added, “It is my hope that that consultation will see a renewed proper Family Values Bill. I believe that my leadership should be a reflection of the people that I govern and upon this, I stand firm”.
