Otumfou Osei Tutu II has enstooled a new Queen, Nana Ama Bonsu, following her appointment by the Asantehene.
Nana Ama Bonsu was enstooled on Monday, July 6, 2026 in succession to Nana Konadu Yiadom III, who died last year.
On Monday morning, Otumfuo summoned Kokofuhemaa, Kenyasehemaa, Nana Asantehemaa Kontimso ne Nkonson, Otumfuo Gyaasehene and the Oyoko Abohyen Abusuapanin to present the name of the nominee.
They were informed of her selection as Asantehemaa and then dispatched to fetch her. The delegation proceeded to her family home opposite the Manhyia Palace and informed her of the call to the Palace.
She was escorted on foot to the Manhyia Palace, specifically to the Asantehemaa’s Palace, where she was received with jubilation and the sound of drums and sprinkled with white powder as a sign of celebration.
The appointee was then seated in the official seat of Asantehemaa inside the Palace and, together with other elders, was formally informed of her enstoolment by Otumfuo’s linguist, Baffour Kantankrakyi.
