Moses Foh-Amoaning's confidence in President Akufo-Addo's endorsement of the anti-LGBTQ+ legislation reflects the prevailing sentiment among some segments of Ghanaian society. The issue of LGBTQ+ rights has been a contentious one in Ghana, with strong cultural and religious opposition to such rights.
Foh-Amoaning's statement about the potential political consequences for the ruling party, the New Patriotic Party (NPP), if President Akufo-Addo refused to sign the legislation underscores the political sensitivities surrounding this issue. The opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) could exploit any perceived weakness on the part of the NPP regarding traditional values and societal norms.
Foh-Amoaning and the National Coalition for Human Sexual Rights and Family Values Bill are committed to advocating for legislation that aligns with their views on human sexuality and family values. Their confidence in President Akufo-Addo's support indicates that they see him as an ally in their efforts.
Ultimately, whether or not to endorse the legislation will depend on various factors, including legal considerations, public opinion, and political calculations. As this issue continues to unfold, it will be important to consider all stakeholders' perspectives.
