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.
The Speaker is not an elected member of parliament though must be qualified to stand for election as such. There are a total of 276 constituencies in Ghana. The 9th Parliament first convened 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. 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. Interestingly, five entertainers are joining Dzifa Gomashie, a former actress in this parliament.
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. Results for the Ablekuma North constituency were not resolved prior to the inauguration.
