When did Ghana get 16 regions?

Ghana held a referendum on creating new regions on 27 December 2018. The voting only took place in the 47 districts that are now part of the 6 new regions reated by splitting four of the existing regions. All the new regions were approved.

See below the current map of Ghana clearly showing all the regions.
