Ghana's Parliament has been directed by Speaker Alban Bagbin to reconsider the recently passed anti-LGBTQ bill, following concerns that the bipartisan support indicated in committee reports was not clearly demonstrated during the floor proceedings. The Speaker expressed surprise at the bill's complete passage on May 29, 2026, and called for urgent consultations between leadership from both sides of Parliament. This directive comes just days after the legislation's approval, and further complicates its path to becoming law, as President John Mahama has also stated that the bill faces significant legal and constitutional reviews, including scrutiny by the Presidency and the Attorney-General, before any presidential assent can be considered.
