Kwabre East Municipal District

Kwabre East Municipal District is one of the forty-three districts in Ashanti Region, Ghana. Originally created as an ordinary district assembly in 1988 when it was known as Kwabre District, after it was created from part of the former Kwabre Sekyere District. On 1 November 2007, the western part of the district was split off to become the southern portion of Afigya Kwabre District; while the remaining original portion is since then officially renamed as Kwabre East District. Later it was upgraded to municipal district assembly status on November 2017 to become Kwabre East Municipal District. The municipality is located in the northern part of Ashanti Region and had Mamponteng as its capital town.
