Ghanaian traditional leaders urge President Nana Addo to act on the Anti-LGBTQI Bill, aiming to ban same-sex marriages and criminalize intercourse with a five-year maximum sentence.

Ghana's traditional leaders and Osu Traditional Council have urged President Nana Addo to act on the Anti-LGBTQI Bill, which aims to protect Ghanaian family values and ban same-sex marriages. The bill, if passed, could criminalize same-sex intercourse with a maximum prison sentence of five years. Supporters of the bill plan to protest against the Chief Justice on August 21, 2024, due to perceived delays in the bill's transmission to the president. Both the National Democratic Congress and the New Patriotic Party have expressed support for the bill, reflecting a broad political consensus on the issue.
