Sam Nartey George, a Member of Parliament (MP) from Ningo-Prampram, claims that Michael Teye, his opponent in the National Democratic Congress’s just-concluded presidential and parliamentary primaries on May 13, was supported by some members of the LGBTQ+ community.
He said that his opponent received the open support of the LGBTQ+ community during the competition.
Sam George made the remark in answer to a hostess’ enquiry on if the LGBTQ+ community was working against him during the primaries in an interview with TV3.
Sam George emphasized that the LGBTQ+ community views him as their primary source of energy, which is why they have contrasted him with him.
“It was unashamedly, they backed my opponent. They supported him. They didn’t hide their disdain. They were on social media, brought in their resources, money, and supported him. It is strides knowledge that Sam George is public enemy number 1 for the LGBTQ community,” he said.
He continued by saying that despite this effort on the part of the community, he will continue to fight against the legalization of the community’s operations in Ghana.
“Hey! Guys, I am coming after you, with even more firm and vigour. If you know you can’t, take a man down, don’t start a fight with him because now,” he added.
