Biakoye District is one of the eight districts in Oti Region, Ghana.[2][3] Originally it was formerly part of the then-larger Jasikan District on 10 March 1989, which was created from the former Jasikan District Council, until the western part of the district was split off to create Biakoye District on 29 February 2008, which was established by Legislative Instrument (L.I.) 1910; thus the remaining part has been retained as Jasikan District. The district assembly is located in the southern part of Oti Region and has Nkonya Ahenkro as its capital town.
It currently has Hon. Millicent Kabuki Carboo as the District Chief Executive (DCE).
