Weija (Ghana parliament constituency)
Ghana parliament constituency
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Weija constituency (now defunct) is a precursor constituency which was demarcated into three new constituencies – Anyaa-Sowutuom, Bortianor-Ngleshie-Amanfrom, and Weija-Gbawe[1] ahead of the Ghanaian 2012 general elections [citation needed] . It no longer has a representation in the Parliament of Ghana and does not elect a Member of Parliament (MP) as the new name is Weija-Gbawe.[2] The former Weija is located in the Ga West District of the Greater Accra Region of Ghana.
