Gomoa West is one of the constituencies represented in the Parliament of Ghana. Its boundaries are similar to those of the Gomoa West District in the Central Region of Ghana. The current constituency boundaries have been in place from prior to the 2012 Ghanaian general election. This followed the creation of 45 new constituencies to take the total number of constituencies from 230 to 275.[2][3]

Francis Kojo Arthur was the member of parliament for the constituency for two terms between January 2009 to January 2017. He was elected on the ticket of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and won a majority of 3,474 votes[4] to become the MP. He succeeded Joe Kingsley Hackman who had represented the constituency in the 4th Republic parliament on the ticket of the New Patriotic Party (NPP).
