Krachi East Municipal District


Krachi East Municipal District is one of the nine districts in Oti Region, Ghana. Originally it was formerly part of the then-larger Krachi District on 1988, until the eastern part of the district was split off to create Krachi East District on 19 August 2004, which was established by Legislative Instrument 1755; thus the remaining part has been renamed to become Krachi West District. However, on 14 November 2017, it was later elevated to municipal district assembly status to become Krachi East Municipal District; which was established by Legislative Instrument 2281. The municipality is located in the northern part of Oti Region and has Dambai as its capital town.
