The Regional Security Council (REGSEC) has cancelled the 2026 Kundum Grand Durbar in the Ahanta West Municipal, causing confusion among paramount chiefs. The cancellation is due to concerns over public safety, despite the traditional authorities having reached an agreement to jointly hold the event. Nana Kwesi Agyemang, a paramount chief, expressed shock at the decision as he had not been personally informed.
He had invested resources in preparations and was concerned about the abrupt cancellation. The cancellation interrupts the joint effort to resolve the dispute over the Kundum celebration between Upper and Lower Dixcove. The dispute had previously been taken to the High Court, leading to an amicable settlement.

However, stakeholders are questioning the communication and engagement process between REGSEC and the traditional authorities. The decision has halted what was expected to be a significant cultural event in the region.
