Andemtenga is a department of Kouritenga Province in eastern Burkina Faso. Its capital lies at the town of Andemtenga. It had a total population of 49,207 in 2006. Its name is sometimes shortened to Andem in colloquial usage.[1]

In the 2012 parliamentary and municipal election, Innoncent Kontoumgomdé (also spelt Inoussa Oumdamde) of the Congress for Democracy and Progress (CDP) was elected Mayor of Andemtenga Department for a five-year term,[2] beating rival candidate Antoudiouendé Jeans Yves Kaboré of the Union for the Republic (UPR) by claiming 47 of the 55 votes spread amongst the 27 villages of the department.[3] This followed the death of mayor Nonguema Johanie Kaboré in June 2012. The ballot was held on 10 January 2013 in the courtyard of the town hall of Andemtenga,[4] and Kontoumgomdé was invested on 6 February 2013.[3]

From 2015, Ibrahim Koussé was the Prefect of Andemtenga Department.[5][6][7]
