Notes

[edit]
  • ^e The largest winning majority in the 2016 election of 58,084 was by Francisca Oteng-Mensah of the NPP in the Kwabre East constituency of the Ashanti Region. The other constituencies with majorities greater than 50,000 are all in the Ashanti Region. They are Kwadaso where Samiu Kwadwo Nuamah of the NPP had a margin of 55,386 and Suame where Osei Kyei Mensah Bonsu also of the NPP had a winning majority of 54,443.[19]
  • ^f The smallest winning majority of just 12 votes was by Kofi Essuah Michael Stephen Ackah of the NDC in the Suaman constituency in the Western Region. Since the creation of new regions in December 2018, it is now located within the Western North Region. Other constituencies with very small winning margins are Salaga South, Savannah Reigon where Salifu Adam Braimah of NPP had 47, Krachi East, Oti Region, Michael Yaw Gyato of NPP, 47, Pru West, Bono East Region, Masawud Mohammed, NDC, 42 and Tain, Bono Region, where Gabriel Osei, NPP had a winning majority of 41.[19]
  • ^g Linda Obenewaa Akweley Ocloo, MP for Shai-Osudoku constituency only stood for election in 2016 because her husband, who was the designated NDC parliamentary candidate, died prior to the election. The MP for Ayawaso West, Emmanuel Agyarko also died during the lifetime of this parliament and was replaced by his wife, Lydia Alhassan in the subsequent by-election.[20]
  • ^h Francisca Oteng-Mensah, MP for Kwabre East was reportedly the youngest member of parliament. She entered parliament at the age of 23 years.[21][22]
  • ^i A total of 11 members decided to retire from parliament and not contest the 2020 general election. Those from the NPP who retired were Anthony Akoto Osei, MP for Tafo Pankrono, Kwabena Appiah-Pinkrah, MP for Akrofuom, Ziblim Iddi MP for Gushegu and Shirley Ayorkor Botchwey MP for Anyaa Sowutuom. The 7 from the NDC who retired were Alban Bagbin, MP for Nadowli, Richard Quashigah, MP for Keta, Inusah Fuseini, Tamale Central, Bernice Adiku Heloo, Hohoe, Magnus Kofi Amoatey, Yilo Krobo, Clement Kofi Humado, Anlo and Fiifi Kwetey for Ketu South.
