The bill now requires presidential assent to become law within seven days, but if outgoing President Nana Afuko-Addo refuses to sign, the Parliament can pass it into law by a two-thirds majority vote. In February 2024 the Parliament of Ghana passed the Promotion of human sexual rights and family values bill, known as the Anti-LGBTQ+ Bill, which outlaws lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender activities, their promotion, advocacy, and funding.
