The Parliament of Ghana has expressed deep sorrow over the death of His Royal Majesty, Yaa-Naa Mahama Abukari II, the 41st Overlord of the Dagbon Kingdom and President of the Northern Regional House of Chiefs.
In a statement issued on Tuesday, July 14, 2026, Parliament extended its condolences to the Gbewaa Palace, the Dagbon Traditional Council, the royal family, and the people of Dagbon following the passing of the revered chief on Saturday, July 11, 2026.
Parliament described the late Yaa-Naa as a statesman whose reign promoted peace, unity, and reconciliation, particularly after he ascended the Yendi Skin on January 18, 2019, following a historic peace process that brought an end to years of conflict between the Abudu and Andani royal gates.
The Legislature noted that his leadership helped restore traditional authority and contributed significantly to healing and national cohesion.
Parliament called on the people of Dagbon to remain united and uphold the late King’s legacy of peace, echoing the Palace’s appeal that “there be no conflict in our grief, and no discord in our mourning.”
The statement was signed by David Sebastian Damoah, Director of Media Relations, on behalf of Parliament.
