Speaking at Juabeso in his five day visit to the Western region, Nana Addo explained that "the northern part of the region [Western North] has to get its own region if Akufo-Addo becomes the next President of Ghana. My government will follow all the constitutional provisions to get this new region".

Nana Addo's promise adds to the many proposals to carve another region out of the western region because of distance between the western north and the western south.
Among those proposing this creation is the former Western regional minister in the Kuffour administration Joseph Boahen Aidoo.
He argued, the distance between the north and south makes it difficult to effectively run the administration of the region.
The current western regional minister Paul Evans Aidoo recently charged the people of the western region to make a request to the president to carve another region out of the western region to smoothen the administration of the region “because the regional capital is far separated from the other parts of the region".
