Who Takes Charge As Asantehene Embarks On A Trip

Traditionally, the occupant of the Asante Mampong stool, as the second in command, would act as caretaker of Asanteman in the Asantehene’s absence.

The Mampong stool, as it stands, is vacant.

As a result, Otumfuo has delegated the responsibility to Opagyakotwere Bonsra Afriyie II, the Adansihene, and Nana Dwamena Akenten II, Offinsohene, as he is set to travel out of the country.

Meanwhile, Kumasi will be under the supervision of Baffour Owusu Amankwatia VI, Bantamahene.

The Monarch announced this officially to the Asanteman Council on Monday, July 28, 2025, during a meeting.

“I leave everything in your hands. Refrain from intimidation. You already know how things are done around here. Let’s maintain that for peace to prevail.”

Otumfuo directed all persons within the Asanteman Council with grievances to see Nana Adansihene and Nana Offinsohene, while those relating to the Kumasi Traditional Council to see Nana Bantamahene.
