At a breakfast meeting with the clergy on Wednesday, Mr Mahama, who is the flag bearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) for Election 2024 and a member of the Assemblies of God Church emphasised that his personal faith aligns with his stance against the activities of the LGBTQ community.
“I am against LGBTQ. I am a member of the Assemblies of God Church, and my faith is against it,” he said.
This declaration comes amid ongoing debates and controversies surrounding LGBTQ issues in Ghana.
various religious and political leaders have expressed strong opposition to LGBTQ rights and existence.
Mr Mahama said, ”as a man, I don’t see how you can wake up one day and say I feel like I am a woman although I was born a man”.

@KTR, for your knowledge, it's even more sensitive to make these declarations now, at a time that you're seeking elections because we all know the sabotage that can emerge from the West. Let Bawumia also be "expedient" and boldly declare his stance. Being a "friend" to a someone who belongs to church circles doesn't make you one or mean you endorse their lifestyle, you don't know the circumstances that led to their friendship. I for instance, became quite close with one in a western country because we shared offices, but I didn't have any prior knowledge of that. Should I then avoid him after knowing? And do you know how my decency and ideals have impacted on him? Light always overshadow darkness.
Tell me again, Dwon Mahama, why did you not make this declaration when you were president? Or do you think we have forgotten Andrew Solomon, a known LGBTQ practitioner, is your good friend and wrote the forward to your book? You have made this statement purely out of political expediencies. You are a very dishonest man. We see you.
Commendable!!! At least we have a man who can declare his stance plainly on this sensitive matter that has a lot interest from "our slave masters". Unlike those who will always want to appeal to the international community and conjecture an impossibility that "it's bound to happen". We want to hear from Dr. Bawumia on this matter as well.
