Anti-LGBTQ law still faces scrutiny before assent – Mahama

President John Mahama says the recently passed Human Sexual Rights and Family Values Bill will face further scrutiny before it can become law.

He noted that procedural issues surrounding its passage mean “there’s still quite a while to go.”

Speaking at Chatham House in London on the first day of Pride month, Mr Mahama outlined the multiple stages the bill must still navigate after Parliament passed it on May 29, 2026.

The president said the bill originated as a private member’s motion, not a government bill, and would now be subject to legal and constitutional review.
