The Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, is expected to meet with the Kusaug Traditional Council on Monday, 30th June, as part of ongoing efforts to restore peace in Bawku.

This was announced in a press release issued by the Manhyia Palace on Sunday, 29th June.

According to the statement, the meeting forms part of His Majesty’s commitment to finding a lasting solution to the conflict in the area.

“His Majesty Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, Asantehene, will meet with the Kusaug Traditional Council on Monday, 30th June, 2025,” the release said.

The Manhyia Palace further called on all parties involved in the Bawku crisis to support the peace process. “Asantehene requests all stakeholders to cooperate for us to find a lasting peace in Bawku,” it added.

Earlier this year, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II actively led mediation in the Bawku conflict, guiding talks held in Kumasi and helping restore a relative calm.

He has resumed stalled negotiations and emphasised the need for long-term peace in Bawku.
