Hon. Henry Godfred Bentil

Hon. Henry Godfred Bentil is the Member of Parliament for Mpohor Constituency in the Western Region of Ghana — a legal practitioner and development professional who won his parliamentary seat in the December 2024 general election, successfully flipping the constituency from the New Patriotic Party (NPP) to the National Democratic Congress (NDC). His victory, with 11,680 votes (57.59%) against the NPP's candidate, marked a decisive shift in Mpohor's political landscape and carried the mandate of constituents determined to see a different quality of representation.

As a qualified lawyer with academic training in both Development Studies and Public Administration, Hon. Bentil brings a formidable combination of legal expertise and development knowledge to Parliament. His legal background equips him to contribute meaningfully to legislative drafting, constitutional interpretation, and the protection of citizen rights — while his grounding in development studies informs his approach to economic planning, rural infrastructure, and social service delivery for Mpohor.

Mpohor Constituency encompasses communities whose livelihoods depend on agriculture, fishing, and the small-scale commercial activity of a developing Western Region district. Hon. Bentil's legislative agenda is driven by a commitment to ensuring that these communities receive the infrastructure investment, legal protections, and economic opportunities that match their potential. He advocates for modern road networks, reliable electricity, quality educational facilities, and agricultural support systems that will transform Mpohor into a constituency of sustainable prosperity.

As a member of the Bar, Hon. Bentil is equally committed to access to justice for his constituents — ensuring that the legal system works for ordinary people, not only for the privileged — and to the rule of law as the bedrock of good governance.
