Dankwa, Charles This Thesis Is Submitted In Partial Fulfillment Of The Requirements For The Award Of Degree In Master of Philosophy in Political Science The research examines the nature of Parliamentary representation and Political accountability under Ghana’s Fourth Republic. This research using questionnaires findsout that, Ghana’s Parliamentary representation under the Fourth Republic was base predominantly on the mandate representation, where Political parties remain a significant platform for Parliamentary representation. The research finds strong preference for Resemblance representation, acknowledging the need for increase representation of women and the socially excluded in Parliament. Delegate representation and Trusteeship representation were weak due to the preponderance of partisanship in Parliament. Election was central to Political accountability of MPs, containing in it, mechanisms of rewards (Re-election) and sanctions (Defeat at the polls). Civil Society Organizations, Media (Print and Electronic) and Chiefs exert strong accountability pressures on Members of Parliament influencing materially the re-election bid of MPs in the next election. Ghana’s Parliamentary representation and Political accountability under the Fourth Republic was dual in nature, from the floor of Parliament and the Constituency.
