The National Organiser of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Henry Nana Boakye, has accused President John Dramani Mahama and the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC) of deceiving Ghanaians and religious leaders over their stance on LGBTQ issues.
Speaking on Asempa FM’s Ekosii Sen show, Mr Boakye claimed the NDC used the matter as a campaign tool, portraying the NPP as supportive of LGBTQ rights to win votes.
He questioned what he described as a shift in position by key government figures, including the Minister for Communications, Digital Technology and Innovation, Samuel Nartey George, and the Foreign Affairs Minister, Okudzeto Ablakwa.
Mr Boakye also criticised the government’s handling of international engagements on LGBTQ matters, alleging inconsistencies in its posture.
He further stated that many religious leaders who supported the NDC based on its earlier position are now disappointed, insisting that the government has failed to live up to its promises.
“Because Lincoln University has withdrawn its honorary degree, the president now says it is no longer a priority. The religious leaders are now disappointed. Mahama has disappointed the clergy, religious leaders and Ghanaians. Wherever Akuffo Addo is, God is fighting for him,” he said.
