Vote against the NPP in the 2024 election since they failed to pass an anti-LGBTQI+ bill, religious groups have warned.

NDC Stalwart Oscar Komla Bedzra has advised Ghanaians, particularly faith-based organizations, to punish the ruling New Patriotic Party for what he called "an intentional move by delay tactics" in failing to pass the ANTI-LGBTQI+ Bill, just days before the country's general presidential and parliamentary elections.

Sam Nartey George, Emmanuel Kwasi Bedzrah of Ho West, Della Adjoa Sowah, Alhassan Sayibu Suhuyini (Tamale North), Helen Adjoa Ntoso, Rita Naa Odoley Sowah, La Dadekotopon, Rockson Nelson Dafeamekpor of South Dayi, and John Ntim Fordjour, Assin South, are among the Members of Parliament who sponsored the anti-LGBTQ+ bill in Ghana.

On February 28, 2024, the Ghanaian Parliament passed the "Proper Human Sexual Rights and Family Values Bill 2021," which was then forwarded to President Nana Addo Danquah Akuffo Addo.

Nevertheless, this bill has been criticized by various civil society organizations that contest its provisions and the punitive penalties they contain.

Oscar Bedzra urged voters in the Ashanti Region's Suame Constituency to reject the NPP for failing to approve this contentious anti-LGBTQ+ bill since Parliament passed it in February 2024. "Why should a government that professes to uphold moral principles be the one holding up the passage of this crucial legislation aimed at advancing morality?"Mr. Bedzra inquired.

"This government should have been overwhelmingly defeated on December 7th, which is less than three weeks away, in any other country like the United States did quite recently during their general elections, and I urge the faith-based organizations to punish the NPP for their unwillingness to pass this bill," Mr. Bedzra continued.
