Asantehene Ends Final Bawku Mediation Today

Asantehene Otumfuo Osei Tutu II is expected to deliver the final ruling in the long-running Bawku chieftaincy mediation on Monday, December 1, 2025, at the Manhyia Palace.

The Asantehene was tasked by President John Dramani Mahama to lead efforts toward a lasting resolution to the decades-old Bawku conflict.

His involvement in the mediation dates back to April this year, when he met representatives of both factions between April 28 and 30 to open a new chapter of dialogue.

Although discussions were temporarily suspended, they resumed on May 13, during which the Asantehene observed that the talks had contributed to a period of relative calm in the area.

For years, the Bawku municipality has endured recurring violence and heightened tension, with sporadic attacks resulting in the loss of lives and the imposition of curfews aimed at curbing unrest.

The situation has disrupted livelihoods, strained community relations, and drawn national concern over the urgent need for a lasting peace settlement.

According to the Manhyia Palace, today’s session represents the culmination of the extensive peace-building effort.

Many residents and observers hope the final pronouncement will bring an end to the intermittent violence and destruction that have plagued Bawku for years.

The anticipated ruling is expected to pave the way for renewed stability, reconciliation, and development in the conflict-ridden enclave.
