- ^ a b c d e f g h i j k These 11 MPs decided to quit and to not contest their seats again in the 2020 election.
- ^ Fomena - In October 2020, following the decision of the incumbent MP, Andrew Asiamah Amoako to stand as an independent candidate in the 2020 Ghanaian general election, the NPP, petitioned the Speaker of Parliament to expel him which he did.
- ^ a b c d e f g These MPs lost the primaries within their parties and therefore could not defend their seats in the 2020 election.
- ^ Mfantseman - 9 October 2020: The incumbent MP, Ekow Hayford of the NPP was murdered by armed robbers on the Nkusukum Mankessim-Abeadze Duadze Road on his way from a campaign trip. As his death is less than three months before the 2020 Ghanaian general election, Article 112 (5) of the 1992 Ghanaian Constitution stipulates that there should not be a by-election in the constituency.
Notes[]
- Non returning members (MPs) - 111 MPs in all will not return to Parliament when it opens on 7 January 2021 for varied reasons. For the NPP, 4 MPs decided to retire from Parliament while 41 lost in the NPP primaries. In the election itself, a further 33 lost their seats meaning 78 NPP MPs out of 169 from the previous parliament will not be present. For the NDC, 7 MPs chose to retire and 8 lost the primaries. The election resulted in another 18 losing their seats so 33 NDC MPs in all from the 7th Parliament will be absent. 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.[23][24]
- Fomena - In October 2020, Andrew Asiamah Amoako the incumbent MP, who was one of the 41 to lose the NPP primaries opted to stand as an independent candidate. This led to him being sacked by the party as by registering as an independent candidate, the party no more recognised him as a member. The NPP then wrote to the Speaker of Parliament stating that he was no longer a member of the party and could not take his seat in parliament. The Speaker, Mike Oquaye subsequently declared the Fomena seat vacant in line with Article 97(1)(g) of the constitution.[25][26] President Nana Akufo-Addo during the election campaign suggested to the people of Fomena that they would not benefit from having an independent MP and tried to woo him back.[27][28] It is claimed Akufo-Addo cited Amoako's alleged disrespect for him as the reason why he could not work with him.[29] Amoako however won his seat as an independent.
- Mfantseman - Following the murder of the incumbent MP by armed robbers during the election campaign,[30][31] the seat was declared vacant due to there being less than three months before the election.[32] Ophelia Hayford, widow of Ekow Hayford contested in place of her husband and won the seat.
