His spokesperson, Dennis Miracles Aboagye, emphasized that Dr. Bawumia’s stance on this issue has not wavered and is in line with the sentiments of the majority of Ghanaians.
In an interview on JoyNews’ AM Show, Mr. Aboagye highlighted that Dr. Bawumia’s position stems from his personal beliefs and a commitment to upholding Ghana’s societal and cultural values.
He made it clear that if Dr. Bawumia assumes the presidency in 2025, he will not support the legalization or promotion of LGBTQI+ activities.
