Ghana's former president and leading opposition presidential candidate John Dramani Mahama on Wednesday expressed his opposition to LGBTQ+ rights but did not say if he would support a bill aimed at criminalising same-sex relations.

The main opposition party, the National Democratic Congress (NDC), voted last year to retain Mahama as its leader for the 2024 presidential election.
