Vice President Mahamudu Bawumia, the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) presidential candidate, strongly denounced LGBTQ practices in Ghana during his Eid speech in Kumasi. He emphasized that his Islamic faith forbids him from supporting such activities, citing it as the basis of his position. To further solidify his stand, he added that LGBTQ activities are condemned by all major religions.

“Our cultural and and societal values as Ghanaians frown on homosexual actiivites,” said Bawumia. “Furthermore, as a Muslim, my views on this matter aligns with the position of my religious faith.” He emphasized the cultural and religious values that are the cornerstone of Ghanaian society and promised to keep opposing LGBTQ activities should he become president.

Dr. Bawumia’s remarks come amidst an ongoing debate surrounding LGBTQ rights and acceptance in Ghana, with differing viewpoints reflecting the intersection of cultural, religious, and legal perspectives. His firm stance signals a continuation of the NPP’s position on the issue and sets the tone for discussions leading up to the upcoming presidential elections.

Those who support the LGBTQ community’s activities will no doubt take offense at the Vice President’s Eid speech, but the Vice President is issuing a strong call to those who share his convictions, highlighting the significance of preserving religious teachings and traditional values in forming Ghana’s social fabric.

As the election season unfolds, Dr. Bawumia’s stance on LGBTQ practices is likely to remain a key topic in the public discourse over the anti-LGBTQ bill and whether it will be assented to, reflecting a broader social pain point for the government.
