The Member of Parliament for Assin South, Reverend Ntim Fordjour, has stated emphatically that the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC) will suffer a humiliating defeat in the 2028 elections if President John Dramani Mahama fails to assent to the controversial Human Sexual Rights and Family Values Bill-commonly referred to as the Anti-LGBTQ+ Bill.

According to the reverend minister and politician, any president who treats the bill lightly-even if they are not seeking re-election-risks jeopardizing the electoral fortunes of their party.

Speaking in an interview with media personality Kafui Dey in a video shared on YouTube, Reverend Ntim Fordjour, one of the eight parliamentarians who initially sponsored the bill, emphasized that LGBTQ+ issues are a significant influence on political behavior in Ghana and other countries.

For this reason, he argued, the bill should not be taken lightly.
