Room full of Pastors applaud Mahama on his promise to LGBTQR+ community

During an engagement with the leaders of the Christian community, the Flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress, John Dramani Mahama, made a promise to the LGBTQR+ community earning him a standing ovation and long applause from the community on Today, October 1, 2024.

John Mahama today engaged Pastors for a special time of prayer, worship and fellowship in the presence of God. Mahama in his address at the event established his position on the practices of the LGBTQ+ community and made a pledge as well.

According to him his christian faith does not allow the practices of LGBTQR+ and so shall it be under his governance.

He criticized president, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo,for not assenting to the Anti-gay bill. He further assured the men of God that under his presidency, such practices will not be tolerated.
Mahama said “My fathers and mothers in Christ, the current legal impasse created by the Akufo-Addo-Bawumia administration on the Promotion of Proper Human Rights and Ghanaian Family Values Act, which was passed by Parliament, has set a dangerous precedence for our governance. The constitutional directive for action by the president is quite clear and need not have resulted in this stalemate”.

“As I’ve publicly stated, I’m a proud member of the Assemblies of God Church and my faith does not support same-sex marriages or relationships (loud applause for over 20 seconds) nor does it support human-animal relationships, or does it allow people to change their gender as they wish. This is a fundamental belief that I hold and is grounded in my faith. I, therefore, assure you that the promotion of LGBTQ+++++ and all the pluses will have no place in our schools and communities under my administration,” he emphasized.
