The Vice President, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, has reiterated that when elected president, his government will firmly protect Ghana’s family and cultural values from negative influences.
He said his government would ensure that LGBTQ+ activities are not legalized in Ghana, saying his government would be ready for whatever consequences from external forces.
Dr. Bawumia stressed that the practice of LGBTQ+ under his government would be a “No!, No!, No!”
Speaking to the clergy in Cape Coast on Monday as part of his tour of the Central Region, Dr. Bawumia said if polygamy was not allowed in other jurisdictions, same-sex marriages would also not be legalized under his government.

The flagbearer of the NPP also reiterated his commitment to fighting against corruption, which he says is a major hindrance to national development. Dr. Bawumia stressed that his commitment is demonstrated by what he has done so far in the fight against corruption through digitalization. 

Dr. Bawumia later met the Imams and also called on the Central Regional House of Chiefs.

The President of the Central Regional House Chiefs, Odeefuo Amoakwa Boadu, was full of praise for the NPP flag bearer’s humility and respect towards the chieftaincy institution.
While commending the government for the various infrastructural projects, such as the fishing harbour at Elmina and the dualization of the Winneba-Kasoa highway, Odeefuo Amankwaa Boadu also called for attention to some issues that confront the Regional House of Chiefs.

Dr. Bawumia also interacted with enthusiastic traders at the Kotokuraba and Abura markets before meeting students at the Students Connect session at the University of Cape Coast.
