A leading member of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Gabby Otchere-Darko, has fired the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) of sponsoring campaign ads accusing the NPP of “anti-family values” when Mahama is not prepared to sign the bill.
According to Gabby Otchere-Darko, John Mahama in the interview revealed that it depends on what is in the anti-LGBTQ+ bill before he would sign.
Akufo-Addo’s cousin asserted that he believed John Mahama already knew what was on the bill.
Gabby Otchere-Darko further descended on the NDC for sponsoring a series of campaign adverts accusing the ruling party of being rather “anti-family values” when John Mahama is not prepared to sign the bill if passed.
“So how come the NDC chose to sponsor a series of campaign adverts accusing the ruling party of being rather “anti-family values?” Their own leader is not prepared to sign the bill MPs passed”, his statement on X reads.
Gabby further wrote on X, “In Ghana, on the anti-LBTQ+ bill, the NDC presidential candidate, John Mahama, in his latest BBC interview, could not say he would sign the bill if elected into office. “It depends on what is in the bill.” I would want to believe that he already knows what is in the bill”.
Meanwhile, the Supreme Court has set December 18, 2024, to deliver its judgment on the constitutional challenge to the Anti-LGBTQI+ Bill, which was filed by Richard Dela Sky.
The case, which has been pending since May 2024, has drawn criticism from supporters of the bill, who have accused the Chief Justice of intentionally delaying proceedings.
