The flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, has urged Ghanaians to elect him as the country's next president so that he can sign the anti-LGBTQ+ bill into law without delay.The bill, which seeks to outlaw LGBTQ+ activities, is awaiting approval from President Akufo-Addo, but its constitutionality is still being debated in the courts.The Supreme Court is set to deliver its ruling on the case on December 18.

During a worship service at the Philadelphia Church in Kumasi, Dr. Bawumia reiterated his pledge to endorse the bill once the legal proceedings are finalized.“There are many policies or works that are not completed yet. And I know that when I come into power, I will do these works to make sure that everyone is happy.

“There are some policies pending in Parliament which I know are very important to our father. One is the bill for the LGBTQ. When I come to power I will sign it without hesitation and the second thing is the Anti-witchcraft bill.”
