Walewale is a town and the capital of the West Mamprusi Municipal District in the North East Region of Ghana. The municipality is one of 45 districts created in 1988 under the government's decentralization and was later replaced by LI 2061 in 2012; it covers a land area of 2,596 square kilometres, and its population at the 2021 census was 175,755. It lies on the main road from Bolgatanga to Tamale, at the junction of the road west to Nalerigu, the capital of the North East Region. The Mamprusis founded the town, and the language spoken there is largely Mampruli. The article gives no separate population for the town itself, so none is stated here.
