East Gonja Municipal District

East Gonja Municipal Assembly is one of the seven districts in Savannah Region, Ghana.[2] Originally created as an ordinary district assembly in 1988 when it was known as East Gonja District. Later, part of the district was split off by a decree of president John Agyekum Kufuor on 29 February 2008 to create Kpandai District (which is currently now part of Northern Region); thus the original remaining part was retained as East Gonja District. Another part of the district was later split off to create North East Gonja District on 15 March 2018; while the remaining part was upgraded to municipal district assembly status on the same year to become East Gonja Municipal District. The municipality is located in the eastern part of Savannah Region and has Salaga as its capital town.
