The Asantehene-elect, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II on Sunday sat in state at Kwakorem, a patio at the Manhyia Palace, wearing a simple green adinkra cloth, to receive chiefs and visitors attending the concluding rites leading to his coronation. Among the chiefs, who paid homage were Nsutahene, Nana Adu-Agyei Bonsafo II; Juansahene, Nana Agyemang Teatua; Bantamahene, Baffour Awuah V, and Tafohene, Nana Ponkor Baffour II.
The others were: Amakomhene, Nana Akosa Yiadom; Asemhene, Nana Baffour Kyei; Anantahene, Baffour Appiah Dankwa III; and Hwidiemhene, Nana Anarfi Korkorto.
The Gyaase, Ankobea, Manwere and Nkosuo Division were also there. The Asantehemaa, Nana Afua Kobi Serwaa Ampem, was represented by Nana Por, Kumasi Dompoasehemaa.
On Monday, April 26, Otumfuo Osei Tutu would be enstooled at midnight at Pramankesieso, where he would be “put” on the Golden Stool after the necessary rites have been performed at Pampaso and the Kumasi Sports Stadium.
