Brong Ahafo To Get 5 New Districts

The Electoral Commission (EC) has made recommendations for the creation of five new districts in the Brong-Ahafo Region. The new districts proposed are Tano North with Duayaw-Nkwanta as capital, a rural district to be carved out of Sunyani district following the elevation of Sunyani to a Municipal status, Tan, Pru and Jaman North.

The Regional Director of EC, Amadu Sulley told the GNA that Nsoatre had been recommended as the capital of the new rural district because of its central position and accessibility by most of the communities within the district.

He explained that the Commission's team in consultation with stakeholders recommended Sampa as the capital of the Jaman North district because of its booming commercial status and availability of social infrastructure.
