The 2024 Ghanaian general election took place on 7 December 2024 to elect Members of Parliament (MPs) to the 9th Parliament of the Fourth Republic.[1][2]
The Speaker is not an elected member of parliament though though must be qualified to stand for election as such. There are a total of 276 constituencies in Ghana. The 9th Parliament is set to convene on 7 January 2025 to elect a Speaker and Deputy Speakers as well as for the administration of oaths to the Speaker and Members of Parliament.
One new constituency, Guan was contested for the first time in this parliament.[3] This brought the total number of constituencies up to 276. There were 801 candidates registered for the parliamentary election. These were from 12 political parties as well as a number of independent candidates.[4] Interestingly, five entertainers are joining Dzifa Gomashie, a former actress in this parliament.[5]
Of the 275 seats declared so far, 128 of the parliamentarians are new entrants into parliament while 147 are returning members from the 8th parliament.
Results for a number of constituencies were disputed leading to some cases ending up in court. Most of these were sorted with the exception of Techiman South which was resolved by the Electoral Commission days before the inauguration of parliament.[6] Results for the Ablekuma North constituency were not resolved prior to the inauguration.[7]

Notes
[edit]- On 7 January 2024, Alban Bagbin who was the Speaker in the previous parliament was elected to continue as Speaker of the 9th Parliament. He was nominated by the Majority Leader in Parliament, Cassiel Ato Forson of the National Democratic Congress (NDC). This was seconded by the Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin of the New Patriotic Party (NPP). There were no additional nominations so he was elected unopposed.[123]
- Alban Bagbin has been involved with each of the 9 parliaments of the 9th republic. He was the elected MP for Nadowli Kaleo from the first parliament elected in the 1992 Ghanaian parliamentary election and retained his seat through every election until the 2016 Ghanaian general election for the seventh parliament. He was the elected speaker for the e8th parliament and re-elected to continue in the 9th parliament.[124]
- Collins Dauda, MP for Asutifi South became the longest serving MP in the fourth republic as he was elected for his eighth term. He has been an MP in all the parliaments except the third between 2001 and 2005 when he lost his seat in the 2000 Ghanaian general election.[12]
