The scheduled Bawku peace negotiations have been postponed. The Manhyia Palace will confirm a new date.

The ongoing efforts to settle the longstanding conflict in Bawku have been delayed. This information comes from sources at the Manhyia Palace. The resolution is postponed until next week. The delay is caused by the complex issues surrounding the chieftaincy dispute. These issues have been hindering progress in the peace process. The Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, is leading the effort. He was initially expected to make significant strides on Monday, April 28.

The Manhyia Palace has not yet announced a new date for the resumption of the mediation sessions. Otumfuo’s participation in the peace effort has been warmly embraced nationwide. His leadership is viewed as a potential catalyst for lasting peace and stability in the troubled region.

The mediation was initially scheduled from April 28 to May 1. It was set to take place at the Manhyia Palace. This was part of broader national endeavours to ease tensions in Bawku.
