The Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, has stated that the Bawku conflict mediation report should unite the two factions involved in the long-standing dispute.

Presenting the report to President John Dramani Mahama on Tuesday, December 16, 2025, at the Jubilee House, he clarified that the exercise was a mediation process, not arbitration.

“I’m here to present the facts as they are so we can have peace. I’m not here to give a judgment as to who was right or wrong. The report should bind all of us. I have explained to the various parties that it was mediation, not arbitration,” he said.
