Asantehene Sets Final Mediation Dates For Bawku Chieftaincy Conflict

The Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, has scheduled Sunday, November 30, and Monday, December 1, 2025, for what is expected to be the concluding phase of his mediation efforts in the protracted Bawku chieftaincy conflict.

A statement issued by the Manhyia Palace on Monday, November 10, said the two-day session will mark a crucial step in the Asantehene’s sustained efforts to broker lasting peace between the feuding Kusasi and Mamprusi factions.

His Majesty commended both sides for the cooperation and commitment they have shown in previous engagements and urged all stakeholders to continue upholding peace as dialogue reaches its final stage.

“His Majesty praises both sides for their positive approach to the mediation so far and appeals to all concerned to avoid any actions likely to affect the progress towards a lasting solution to the Bawku conflict,” the statement read.

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

The discussions, which were temporarily suspended, were later resumed on May 13, during which the Asantehene noted that the talks had led to a period of relative calm in the area.

The Bawku municipality has, in recent months, endured recurring violence and heightened tension, with sporadic attacks leading to loss of lives and the imposition of curfews by authorities to curb unrest.

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

By setting the final mediation date, the Asantehene signals a renewed determination to help both sides reach consensus and restore lasting stability to the conflict-ridden enclave.

His leadership in the process has been widely acknowledged by traditional leaders, government officials, and peace advocates as a symbol of unity and wisdom in resolving one of Ghana’s most enduring disputes.Ghana travel guide
