I have only one wife – Ras Mubarak

The Member of Parliament for the Kunbumgu Constituency in the Northern Region has refuted publications and rumors that he has two wives.

Hon Ras Mubarak who tied the knot yesterday with a lady rumored to be the daughter of a colleague Member of Parliament for Asawase who is also the Minority Chief Whip, Hon Muntaka Mubarak stated that even though he is unapologetically a believer in polygamy as Muslim, he has only one wife.

In a Facebook post captured by Ghanapoliticsonline.com, the freshly married Member of Parliament expressed gratitude to sympathisers of both the ruling New Patriotic Party and the main opposition National Democratic Congress for their massive support during the marriage ceremony and admonished the media to report on factual basis.

Below is Hon Ras Mubarak’s Facebook post;

I’ve just woken up to news that I married an additional wife yesterday. Let me put it on record that – though I am unapologetically a believer in polygamy and my religion, and my proud Dagbon tradition and culture permit polygamy, – I just remarried yesterday after my wife then, packed out and sued for divorce a few weeks before the 2016 election. – While we appreciate the media interest in reporting what is news, we wish to encourage the media to report what is factual. Mrs. Huseina Mubarak, – my new and only wife – and I, are very grateful to colleagues from the NDC and NPP, friends, family and everyone who supported us in diverse ways. May God bless us all and strengthen every marriage
