Sefwi Wiawso is the administrative capital of the newly-created Western North region.
President Nana Akufo-Addo made the announcement Friday at a ceremony at the Jubilee House, where he also presented the Constitutional Instrument to give legal backing to the creation of the new region.
The Sefwi-Wiawso was elevated to municipal status in 2012 and its capital is Wiawso.
The ceremony was attended by the delegations of traditional leaders as well as opinion leaders from the area.
It is the fifth of the six new regions created to have received the legal instrument after North East, Savannah, Bono East and Ahafo regions received theirs earlier in the week.
The Oti region’s capital is expected to be presented Friday afternoon.
