OFFICIAL COMMUNIQUE | YIP SENATE
The Office of the President of the Senate of the Youth Impact Parliament (YIP) has issued a Communique on the Demarcation of Senatorial Constituencies.
The 276 Parliamentary Constituencies of Ghana already exist, and the YIP Senate already operates with 64 Senatorial Constituencies, comprising four Senatorial Constituencies in each of Ghana’s 16 regions — North, South, East and West.
The purpose of the ongoing demarcation exercise is therefore not to create new Parliamentary or Senatorial Constituencies. Rather, it is to clearly establish the geographical jurisdiction of each existing Senatorial Constituency by identifying the existing Parliamentary Constituencies that fall within its territorial area of representation.
The exercise is intended to ensure that every Senator clearly understands:
🔹 The Senatorial Constituency he or she represents
🔹 The Parliamentary Constituencies falling within that jurisdiction
🔹 The geographical scope of the Senator's mandate
🔹 The Youth MPs and constituencies with whom the Senator is expected to engage
This demarcation will provide a clear and practical framework for Senatorial representation, accountability, consultation and legislative engagement within the YIP bicameral system.
📌 276 Existing Parliamentary Constituencies

“Effective representation begins with knowing who we represent, where we represent them, and how their concerns can be carried into legislative deliberations.”
