Politics of Sunday, 12 April 2026Source: starrfm.com.ghClaims that LGBTQ issues are no longer a priority under John Dramani Mahama are a misconception being unfairly attributed to him, according to the NDC’s Deputy General Secretary, Mustapha Gbande. “There are clear context issues regarding what President Mahama actually said and the implications of the reported cancellation by Lincoln University, which was initially expected to honour him. Reports suggest the event was cancelled just two days prior, allegedly due to concerns raised by some members of the university council over President Mahama’s perceived stance on LGBTQ issues. At no point has President Mahama stated that LGBTQ issues are irrelevant; rather, he has consistently framed them within proper constitutional and institutional processes. Ultimately, there is no indication that President Mahama intends to renege on his commitments to the people of Ghana.”
