Bawumia, the New Patriotic Party’s presidential candidate, has said he will not tolerate LGBTQ+ activities if elected, because they conflict with the Ghana’s values. Ghana’s presidential elections on 7 December will bring in a new leader, with Nana Akufo-Addo stepping down at the end of his two terms. On Monday (3 June), while speaking to clergy in Cape Coast during his tour of the Central Region, Bawumia said of LGBTQ+ identities: “We will not agree. The Bible doesn’t tolerate it, the Quran doesn’t tolerate it and our African values do not tolerate it. So it is a no, no and no.”
