Bagbin revealed that he plans to seek advice from the Minister for Justice and Attorney General to determine the next steps for advancing the bill. The bill, which was passed by Parliament in the 8th Parliament, expired in 2024 after failing to receive presidential assent. Bagbin criticized the former president for refusing to sign the bill, calling it unconstitutional. “The LGBTQ bill was passed by Parliament, but the former president refused to assent to it, which was unconstitutional. Parliament is the authority for passing laws, not the president. That decision was wrong, and all of you punished him for that,” Bagbin remarked, referring to the actions of the previous administration.

Bagbin outlined his next steps, saying, “I am going to write to the new Attorney General and Minister for Justice for their input so we can resend it to the new president for assent. This will not take long; it will be passed this year. It is ungodly, and nobody should joke with me on this. I can lose my life for this cause.” He assured the audience that the bill would be approved by the president in 2025.
The Anti-LGBTQ Bill has sparked intense national debate. Proponents argue that it protects Ghana’s moral and cultural values, while critics raise concerns about its impact on human rights and the country’s international standing. Bagbin’s statements have reignited discussions, and many are watching closely for the next steps in this controversial matter.
