Ghana’s Parliament has a host of new faces after a significant number of sitting Members of Parliament lost in the polls.

Notable among the new faces are John Peter Amewu in Hohoe, Francis Xavier Sosu in Madina, Sheila Bartels in Ablekuma North and Dakoa Newman in Okaikwei South.

An area like Nadowli-Kaleo got its first new MP in 28 years in the person of Anthony Mwinkaara Sumah after Alban Bagbin stepped down.

This continues the trend from 2016 where over 120 new MPs entered Parliament.

Most of the new entrants are National Democratic Congress MPs as the opposition party gained massive ground in Parliament to erode the New Patriotic Party’s Majority.

The latest results released by the Electoral Commission show that the NPP has won 137 parliamentary seats and the NDC, 136 seats.
