Ghana: Declare Your Stance on LGBTQ+ Before Seeking Political Office in 2024 – Dormaahene Proposes
The Dormaahene, Osagyefo Oseadeeyo Dr Agyemang Badu II, has proposed that all who intend to seek election to any political office during the 2024 general election should be made to declare their position on Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer (LGBTQ+) issues before officially launching their campaign. The Dormaahene stressed that it is important for politicians to publicly declare their stance on this issue because of its sensitivity and the need to know where public office aspirants stand. The proposal has generated divergent opinions from the public, with some believing it is necessary to take a strong stance against LGBTQ+ issues, while others believe it is a matter of personal choice and should not be made a political issue.
