Know the new entrants into Ghana’s 8th Parliament
After a large number of sitting members of Parliament lost in the elections, Ghana's Parliament has a host of new faces.
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.
After Alban Bagbin stepped down, an area like Nadowli-Kaleo got its first new MP in 28 years in the person of Anthony Mwinkaara Sumah.
This follows the rise of over 120 new MPs entering Parliament in 2016.
As the opposition party gained huge ground in Parliament to erode the New Patriotic Party's majority, most of the new entrants are National Democratic Congress MPs.
The new results published by the Electoral Commission show that 137 parliamentary seats have been won by the NPP and 136 by the NDC.
