Election 2020: Here are 38 female MPs-elect in Ghana's Parliament

Some women have made proven their worth during the parliamentary elections in their various constituencies.

The First Parliament of the Fourth Republic had 16 women out of the 200 MPs, and the Second, Third and Fourth parliaments, saw a slight increase in the number of female parliamentarians.

But in the 2020 general elections, provisional results show a slight rise in women elected to Parliament.

Gender empowerment activists have been calling for and committing to facilitating gender equity in representation in the House.

In the 2012 polls, 126 females contested for parliamentary seats.

Though some female parliamentarians crushed out, a few new ones have made it to parliament after winning the 2020 elections.

However, a few prominent female parliamentarians such as Barbara Asher Ayisi, Barbara Oteng-Gyasi, Hajia Alima Mahama and Elizabeth Afoley Quaye, among others, have lost their seats.

Below is a list of female MPs who won the elections to form the 8th Parliament of the 4th Republic.
