Suhum Municipal District is one of the thirty-three districts in the Eastern Region, Ghana.[1][2][3][4] Originally it was formerly part of the then-larger Suhum-Kraboa-Coaltar District in 1988, which was created from the former Suhum-Kraboa-Coaltar District Council, until the southern part of the district was split off to create Ayensuano District on 28 June 2012; thus the remaining part has been renamed as Suhum Municipal District, which was also elevated into municipal district assembly status in that same year.[5] The municipality is located in the southern part of Eastern Region and has Suhum as its capital town.

The Chief executive officer of Suhum is Margaret Darko. [6]
