Parliament House of Ghana, Government building in East Ridge, Accra, Ghana

The Parliament House of Ghana is a long, low building on a paved avenue in Accra, with a white facade and a red tiled roof. Tall rectangular windows separated by white columns line the front, and a projecting central entrance block has two dark doorways flanking a white pillar that rises above the roofline and holds a dark relief sculpture. A blue band runs below the main floor.

The Parliament House of Ghana was designed and built in 1965 under Kwame Nkrumah, the country's first president, and serves as the seat of the Speaker of Parliament. In 2011 Alfred Kwame Agbeshie, MP for Ashaiman, called for a new building because the growing number of members sat too far from the Speaker to be recognized in debates.
