The Oti Region is one of the six newly created regions of Ghana[4][5] in December 2018.[6][7] The region was carved out of the northern part of the Volta Region and will be in fulfillment of a campaign promise made by New Patriotic Party. Prior to the 2016 Ghanaian general election, the then candidate Nana Akufo-Addo declared that when elected, he would explore the possibility of creating new regions out of some of the existing regions in Ghana in order to bring government closer to citizens.[8] The Region was inaugurated on May 14, 2019.
