The Minority in Parliament's Foreign Affairs Committee has raised concerns that the Minister of Foreign Affairs's announced figures for the 2026 evacuation of 1,964 Ghanaians from South Africa at a cost of GH¢49.72 million cannot be fully verified against underlying records, citing discrepancies with earlier public accounts.

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.

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.
