President John Dramani Mahama has announced that the government will take a clear and definitive position on the Bawku mediation report within the next 24 hours.

He made the statement on Tuesday, December 16, 2025, after receiving the full report on the mediation process from the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, at the Jubilee House.

“I’m pleased that Otumfuo’s mediation has come to an end and now he has presented a report. I can assure him that the government will review this report, and within the next 24 hours, we will issue a statement on our definitive position,” President Mahama said.
