Interestingly, Hwidiem and Kenyasi has presented a joint petition to the President to make the two towns, which are about three kilometres apart, the common regional capital.
Goaso, which is the capital of the Asunafo North municipality, is seen as the frontrunner, especially as it has the facilities to host the regional capital.
Some of the notable towns that have come up as strong contenders for the capital of the Ahafo Region are Goaso, Mim, Duayaw Nkwanta, Bechem, Hwidiem and Kenyasi.
Mim, formerly known for its timber business, is the dark horse in the race.
Duayaw Nkwanta and Bechem are big towns alright, but whether they have what it takes to be the capital remains to be answered.
However, the Minister of Regional Reorganisation and Development, Mr Dan Botwe,has made it known that the new regional capitals will be announced on Tuesday, 12th February, 2019.
