Sekyere Afram Plains District

Sekyere Afram Plains District[1] is one of the forty-three districts in Ashanti Region, Ghana. Originally it was part of the then-larger Sekyere East District until 1 November 2007 (inaugurated on 29 February 2008); when a large portion of the district was created to become Sekyere Afram Plains District, with Kumawu as its capital town. Later on 28 June 2012, the Afram Plains area of the district has split off to become the new Sekyere Afram Plains District; while the remaining part was renamed as Sekyere Kumawu District. The district assembly is the eastern part of Ashanti Region and has Drobosno as its capital town.
