History
At the time Ghana became an independent country, there were 104 seats in parliament. This increased to 198 after 1965, when Ghana became a one-party state. With the start of the Second Republic in 1969, the number of seats was increased to 140. This did not change further until the start of the Fourth Republic when it was increased from 140 to 200. Following the December 2000 election, the number of seats was increased. After the 2000 population census, the number of districts increased from 110 to 138. Subsequently, the Electoral Commission of Ghana conducted a demarcation exercise which increased the number of constituencies from 200 to 230. The total list of constituencies was increased to 275 before the 2012 Ghanaian general election. This was done by the Electoral Commission of Ghana after the final results of the 2010 population census became available. Additionally, after referendum in December 2018, the number of administrative regions has also been increased from ten to sixteen.[Ahafo Region]
