Former Member of Parliament for Ledzokuku, Benita Sena Okity-Duah has taken on a new role as the Coordinator of the Free Senior High School (FSHS) Secretariat.

She was born on June 19, 1976, in Anloga, Volta Region, and rose to national fame in 1997 when she won the Miss Ghana pageant at age 20.

Her education began at Achimota School, and she later pursued fashion design at the London School of Fashion, where she refined her skills over four years.

Returning to Ghana in 2003, she made a name for herself in the fashion industry before transitioning into politics. She successfully challenged Nii Nortey Dua in the National Democratic Congress (NDC) primaries for Ledzokuku and went on to win the parliamentary seat in 2012. This achievement made her the first former Miss Ghana to become a Member of Parliament.

Her political career also included a tenure as Deputy Minister for Gender, Children, and Social Protection, a position she held from April 2013 to June 2014.
