Nkwanta South Municipal District (French: Nkwanta Sud) is one of the eight districts in Oti Region, Ghana.[1] Originally it was formerly part of the then-larger Nkwanta District on 1989, until a small portion of the district was split off to become Nkwanta North District on 29 February 2008, which was established by Legislative Instrument (L.I.) 1846; thus the remaining original part was renamed to become Nkwanta South District. It was later upgraded to municipal district assembly status on 14 November 2017 to become Nkwanta South Municipal District; which was established by Legislative Instrument (L.I.) 2283. The municipality is located in the northern part of Oti Region and has Nkwanta as its capital town.
