The Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu, is to resume mediation of the Bawku chieftaincy conflict from April 28 to May 1.
This follows an agreement among all the parties.
A statement from the Manhyia Palace is calling for the cooperation of all the parties concerned to help find a lasting solution to the crisis.

Otumfuo, who is currently out of Ghana is expected back home very soon to allow for the peace process to restart.
The process is part of efforts to end years of conflict that has plagued the Bawku area, resulting in deaths, destruction of property, and displacement.
Last week, President John Mahama assured that the peace mediation process led by the Asantehene would resume.
Speaking at a graduation ceremony at the Ghana Military Academy on Friday, April 11, he said “We have triggered the Otumfuo mediation process, which saw all stakeholders participate in discussions in Kumasi on a roadmap towards peace.
“I am assured by the Asantehene that the process will commence next week when he returns from his brief visit abroad.”
He added “The flashpoint continues to be the Bawku area. Only two days ago, an incident in a marketplace triggered an unfortunate loss of lives and criminal vandalism of properties. I wish to emphasise that nobody gains from this situation of conflict and insecurity,” he said.
