Ghana's Deputy Ranking Member on Parliament's Foreign Affairs Committee has called on the government to provide more details on its decision to defer a proposed state visit by South African President Cyril Ramaphosa, citing concerns over xenophobic attacks and saying the Minority Caucus lacks sufficient information to assess the situation and contribute meaningfully to discussions on Ghana's diplomatic response.
Deputy Ranking Member Nana Asafo-Adjei Ayeh criticized South African President Cyril Ramaphosa's handling of recent xenophobic attacks and anti-migrant protests, saying he should have taken a firmer public stance and provided stronger assurances to foreign nationals including Ghanaians in South Africa.
Parliament debated the refusal of Canadian authorities to grant Thomas Partey entry to Canada. Some minority MPs blamed Ghanaian officials for providing false information on the visa application, while majority MPs argued Canada was enforcing its laws unfairly and discriminatorily.
Canada's refusal to grant Thomas Partey a temporary residence visa exposes the complex sovereign friction of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, which is being co-hosted across the United States, Canada, and Mexico. The multi-country format has created a fragmented legal landscape for international athletes, as securing entry into one host nation does not guarantee passage into another, leaving Ghana's squad separated by geopolitical borders.
Bosome Freho MP Nana Asafo-Adjei Ayeh questioned Ghana's World Cup planning structures following Arsenal midfielder Thomas Partey's visa denial by Canadian authorities ahead of the Black Stars' Panama fixture.

Member of Parliament Nana Asafo-Adjei Ayeh has called on the government to intensify diplomatic efforts to secure Thomas Partey's entry into Canada, after the Black Stars deputy captain was denied a temporary residence visa by Canadian authorities ahead of Ghana's Group L match against Panama on June 17. He argued that the Foreign Affairs Ministry should deploy every available diplomatic avenue to assist the midfielder.
The Deputy Ranking Member on Parliament's Foreign Affairs Committee has criticized the handling of Thomas Partey's travel arrangements, arguing that authorities should have foreseen potential visa challenges. Partey is expected to miss Ghana's Copa América match against Panama after Canadian authorities declined his visa application.
The MP for Bosome Freho said Ghana failed in diplomatic engagements over Thomas Partey's Canadian visa denial, which will prevent the Black Stars midfielder from playing in the World Cup qualifier against Panama in Toronto on June 17. He argued the country had sufficient warning signs and capacity to engage relevant authorities earlier and called for stronger collaboration between sporting bodies and foreign policy institutions.
Bosome Freho MP Nana Asafo-Adjei Ayeh raised concerns that key sponsors of the Human Sexual Rights and Family Values Bill were absent when Parliament concluded deliberations, particularly regarding amendments to Clause 9 that exempt lawyers, journalists, media organisations and healthcare professionals from sanctions in LGBTQ-related professional matters, which he claims were not part of the original bill's intentions.
Co-sponsors of Ghana's controversial Human Sexual Rights and Family Values Bill, including MPs John Ntim Fordjour and Nana Asafo-Adjei Ayeh, are resisting proposed exemptions for journalists, medical professionals, and lawyers, arguing the provisions would weaken the bill's intent and create loopholes for promotion of LGBTQ activities.
Ghana's Parliament has passed the Human Sexual Rights and Family Values Bill, which seeks to criminalise LGBTQ+ activities, advocacy and the promotion of non-conventional sexual relations and family values, including penalties for same-sex relations and sanctions against those promoting LGBTQ+ activities. The bill has drawn strong support from conservative and religious groups but criticism from human rights organisations and sections of the international community, with detractors warning it could undermine constitutional rights including freedom of expression and association.
