Ghana’s Parliament has reopened its anti-LGBTQ+ bill. MPs voted on 10 November to undo the approval they gave it on 29 May. Speaker Alban Bagbin told the chamber the text had to be brought into line with decisions MPs made during debate.

Majority Leader James Agalga moved the motion. He had already flagged a problem with the penalties in the text. The bill would make promoting LGBTQ+ activities a criminal offence.

The 11 November agenda listed amendments for MPs to consider and a motion to give the bill another third reading. A later vote passing the bill has yet to be verified.
