Who’s Millicent Amankwah Yeboah, the 34-year-old first time MP married to Mahama Ayariga?

Millicent Amankwah Yeboah, a 34-year-old first-time Member of Parliament (MP) in Ghana, has quickly made a name for herself in the nation's political sphere. Currently representing the Sunyani West constituency in the Ninth Parliament, the National Democratic Congress (NDC) member is also married to Mahama Ayariga, the Majority Leader.

The connection between the couple came to light during Ayariga's ministerial vetting process on Thursday, August 27, 2026, when questions about his family members arose. Ayariga playfully corrected the Appointments Committee Chairman when he failed to mention his wife's name, thereby introducing Millicent Amankwah Yeboah as the Sunyani West MP.

Prior to her political career, Yeboah worked in business management and consultancy, serving as a branch manager for Verna Mineral Water and the Managing Director of MEA Connect Consultants. She holds academic degrees from the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) in Ghana and the University of Law in the United Kingdom.

Yeboah's journey into Parliament began with her victory in the December 2024 general election, where she defeated the incumbent NPP MP, Ignatius Baffour-Awuah. Her professional background in business management has influenced her role in Parliament, where she is now contributing to discussions on employment and labor relations as a member of the Employment, Labour Relations and Pensions Committee.

The young legislator's presence in Parliament alongside her husband, a prominent political figure, adds a unique dimension to her political career. As a first-term legislator, Yeboah is establishing herself in Ghana's political landscape, demonstrating that she is not just the wife of a senior politician, but an individual with her own accomplishments and contributions to the nation's governance.
