Lambussie Karni District is one of the eleven districts in Upper West Region, Ghana.[2][3] Originally it was formerly part of the then-larger Jirapa/Lambussie District in 1988; until the northern part of the district was later split off to create Lambussie-Karni District on 29 February 2008; thus the remaining part has been renamed as Jirapa District (which it was later elevated to municipal district assembly status on 15 March 2018 to become Jirapa Municipal District). The district assembly is located in the northwest part of Upper West Region and has Lambussie as its capital town.
