We’re Not Playing—Anti-LGBTQ+ Bill WILL Pass” – Sukparu Drops Bold Promise

Sissala West MP Mohammed Sukparu is speaking with full confidence, no hesitation—Ghana’s controversial anti-LGBTQ+ bill is getting passed, period. In an interview on GHOne TV’s GHToday with Lily Mohammed on April 7, 2026, Sukparu made it clear that the bill is officially back on the table and already moving through Parliament again after the previous attempt stalled. He broke it down: the bill isn’t even from the government—it’s a private member’s bill led by Sam George and other MPs, meaning they’re the ones pushing it every step of the way. According to Sukparu, the bill actually made it through the 8th Parliament before everything reset. Since it wasn’t signed into law before that Parliament expired, the whole process had to start over from scratch. Now in the 9th Parliament, the sponsors have reintroduced it—and it’s already going through the required stages. But here’s where it gets intense. Sukparu says he fully trusts President John Dramani Mahama to sign the bill once it lands on his desk. In fact, he went all in, saying if Mahama doesn’t sign it, he would resign as an MP. He didn’t hold back either when comparing leadership, pointing out that former President Nana Akufo-Addo never signed the bill before leaving office—but this time, he believes things will be different. This bill isn’t just talk—it’s moving, and in his view, it’s only a matter of time before it becomes law. Source:Gh One
