Suhum Municipal Assembly is one of the thirty-three districts in the Eastern Region, Ghana. 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 Assembly, which was also elevated into municipal district assembly status in that same year. The municipality is located in the southern part of the Eastern Region and has Suhum as its capital town. The population of the Suhum Municipal Assembly as of December 2024 is 123,100.
The Chief Executive Officer of Suhum as of January 7, 2025, was Margaret Darko. The current Municipal Chief Executive is Hon. Lydia Ohenewaa.
