Ghana's 9th Parliament by Age: The Youngest, Oldest and Average MP

AT By Agyedin Editorial Team September 27, 2026 · 10 min read

The average Member of Ghana's 9th Parliament is 50.6 years old. We worked out the age of 274 of the 276 sitting MPs from the dates of birth in Parliament's own member records, and the numbers show a House run by people in their forties and fifties: 210 MPs, or 77 per cent, fall between 40 and 59.

The youngest MP is Millicent Yeboah Amankwah, the NDC member for Sunyani West, who is 34. The oldest is James Gyakye Quayson of Assin North, who is 73. That is a gap of 39 years between the two ends of the chamber.

The headline numbers

Average age: 50.6 (median 50)
MPs under 40: 21
MPs aged 60 and over: 43, of whom 7 are 70 or older
Youngest: Millicent Yeboah Amankwah, 34 (Sunyani West)
Oldest: James Gyakye Quayson, 73 (Assin North)
Born after the Fourth Republic began (7 January 1993): none

How old are Ghana's MPs?

Most MPs are in their forties or fifties. The chart counts sitting MPs by age band.

30 to 3921

40 to 49108

50 to 59102

60 to 6936

70 and over7

Only 21 MPs are under 40, even though most Ghanaians are under 30. Four MPs were born in 1992, which makes them the youngest group in the House: Issah Atta, Sulemana Alhassan, Elvis Osei Mensah Dapaah, Millicent Yeboah Amankwah. Nobody in the chamber was born after 7 January 1993, the day the Fourth Republic began.

NDC against NPP

The NDC's 184 MPs average 51.2 years; the NPP's 86 MPs average 49.7. So the minority side is slightly younger, by about 1.5 years. The four independent MPs average 45.8. The gap is smaller than many people would guess, and both caucuses have a similar spread of ages.

New MPs are younger

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, against 53.5 for MPs who sat in an earlier Parliament: a difference of about six years. The 2024 intake has pulled the average age of the House down.

Average age by region

The North East Region sends the youngest group of MPs to Parliament, averaging 42.3, while the Savannah Region's MPs are the oldest on average, at 54.5. Several regions have only six to eleven seats, so one or two MPs can move their average a lot.

How we counted

We took the date of birth of every sitting MP from the member pages of the Parliament of Ghana website and checked them against the profiles on Agyedin. Ages are as of 27 September 2026. Two MPs, Samuel Abu Jinapor and Sebastian Ngmenenso Sandaare, have no date of birth on record, so the averages cover 274 MPs. "First term" means the MP had not sat in any earlier Parliament of the Fourth Republic. Party figures use the party each MP was elected for. Browse every seat on our list of Ghana's MPs or look up any of the 276 constituencies.
