President John Dramani Mahama has given the strongest indication yet that he will not delay by a minute in signing into law, the Anti-LBGTQ bill currently yet to be re-laid in Parliament.
Assent of the controversial Human Rights and Family Values Bill into law hit a snag after a legal suit challenging its constitutionality, as former president Akufo-Addo also failed to assent it.
The President has given a firm assurance to the Christian Council that he is ready to sign into law once parliament finishes it work.
President Mahama gave the assurance when the Clergy paid a courtesy call on him at the Jubilee House on Tuesday November 18, 2025.
“Marriage is between man and woman. A person’s gender is determined at birth, and the family is the foundation of our nation. That is our position. So there are no questions or equivocations about what we believe,” he said.
“I believe that we are completely aligned with the Christian Council in terms of your belief,” he noted.
President Mahama supported the Speaker of Parliament’s call for the bill currently before the House to be relaid and debated to allow any necessary amendments or clarifications.
“We agree with the Speaker to relay the bill and let Parliament debate it, and then if there are any amendments or whatever that have to be done,” he said.
“If the Parliament of the people of Ghana endorses the bill, votes on it and passes it, and it comes to me as President, I will sign it,” he declared.
