Not one of Ghana’s 276 sitting Members of Parliament was born after 7 January 1993, the day the Fourth Republic began. The youngest, Millicent Yeboah Amankwah of Sunyani West, was born in 1992 and was 34 when the figures were compiled in September 2026. The oldest, James Gyakye Quayson of Assin North, was 73.
Those numbers come from Agye Din, the online database of Ghanaian public figures, which has built a profile for almost every person to win a parliamentary seat since 2008 and worked out the ages of 274 of the current 276 MPs from the dates of birth in Parliament’s own member records.
A House in its forties and fifties
The average MP in the 9th Parliament is 50.6 years old, with a median of 50. Agye Din’s Parliament by age study found that 210 MPs, or 77 per cent of the House, are aged between 40 and 59. Only 21 are under 40, while 43 are 60 or older and seven are 70 or above.
Four MPs born in 1992 form the youngest group in the chamber: Issah Atta, Sulemana Alhassan, Elvis Osei Mensah Dapaah and Millicent Yeboah Amankwah. At the other end, the seven oldest members all sit on the majority side, led by Quayson, Richard Kuuire of Nandom and Bede Anwataazumo Ziedeng of Lawra. The oldest NPP member is Patricia Appiagyei of Asokwa, at 69.
Majority, minority and the new intake
The gap between the two main caucuses is smaller than many people would guess. The NDC’s 184 MPs average 51.2 years and the NPP’s 86 MPs average 49.7, so the minority side is younger by about a year and a half. The four independent MPs average 45.8.
The bigger difference is between newcomers and veterans. More than 120 MPs, about 44 per cent of the House, are serving their first term after the December 2024 election and the by-elections since. First-term MPs average 47.1 years, against 53.5 for those who sat in an earlier Parliament. The 2024 intake has pulled the average age of the House down by several years.
Every seat since 2008
The age study sits on top of a larger record. Agye Din has mapped all 310 constituencies that have existed since the 2008 general election, covering 1,329 seats across five parliaments. Each constituency page lists who won it at each election, including by-election winners, and links to a profile of every MP it can identify.
That makes it possible to trace a seat such as Assin North through the court case that removed Quayson in 2023 and the by-election that returned him, or to see how many times a constituency in Accra has changed hands between the two parties. The full list of current MPs can be sorted and searched by name, party and region.
Ministers and the offices of state
A separate Ministers page lists the current government by portfolio and is updated after each reshuffle, with deputy ministers included. Office-holder lists trace every President, Vice President, Chief Justice, Speaker of Parliament and Attorney-General of Ghana in order. On each holder’s profile, a succession box shows who held the office before and after them.
Agye Din, founded by Isaac Nana Yaw Annor, holds more than 2,434 profiles in all, and politicians make up the largest group, with more than 840. Profiles are compiled from public records and reputable news outlets, sources are listed on each page, and readers can flag mistakes through a Suggest a Correction link. For Accra residents trying to find out who their MP is, how old they are and who sat in the seat before them, the answer is now one search away.
