President Nana Akufo-Addo now has a total number of 110 people to serve as ministers, ministers of state and deputies in his administration, the highest in the country’s history.<\/p>\n

Out of the total 110, 20 are Regional Ministers and their Deputies, 40 ministers for various ministries, with 50 deputies.<\/p>\n

In the President’s latest list of appointments presented to Parliament, he named 50 persons to serve as Deputy Ministers, and 4 to serve as\u00a0Ministers of State.<\/p>\n

[contextly_sidebar id=”I4nKiDaHoOpt2Op9RS37nPI7NhY4sqk1″]Nana Addo by this number, would have the highest list of ministers and deputies to serve in any government since the start of the fourth Republic.<\/p>\n

Substantive Ministers & Ministers of state appointed by previous governments\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

In Jerry John Rawlings\u2019 first term after the 1992 elections, he had Nineteen (19) substantive ministers, but he increased to Twenty-Five (25) in his second term. John Agyekum Kufuor in his first time increased the number of substantive ministers to Thirty-One (31), and maintained the same number in his second term.<\/p>\n

The late John Evans Atta Mills in his first term managed to beat down the number to Twenty-Three (23) to fit into his vision. It must however be noted that, he had six (6) Ministers of State in addition to the Twenty-Three (23) bringing the number to Twenty-Nine (29).<\/p>\n

He unfortunately didn\u2019t have a second term after his demise. John Dramani Mahama in his first time had Twenty-Four (24) substantive ministers, with Five (5) Ministers of State at the presidency, making it Twenty-Nine 29, the exact number Atta Mills had.<\/p>\n

This list however doesn’t include regional ministers and their\u00a0deputies, as well as deputies for the various ministries.<\/p>\n
