The ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) has revealed it stands concerning LGBTQ+ brouhaha in the country.

According to John Boadu, the governing party has zero tolerance for activities of LGBTQ+ groups in Ghana.
He said that, “The NPP will not support the activities of the LGBTQI+ community. We respect the rights of the individuals but cannot support actions that are against our principles. But should there be a regulation, we would ensure that their rights are protected, but we will not support LGBTQI+ activities.”[ads3]
