Global leaders descend on Manhyia as Otumfuo marks 27-year reign with Executive Gala

Otumfuo Osei Tutu II was honored Friday, 24th April 2026, at the Otumfuo Osei Tutu II Jubilee Hall with a high-level Executive Gala to commemorate the 27th enstoolment anniversary of the Asantehene. The 'World-Meets-in-Ghana' gala celebrated the Asantehene's nearly three-decade reign under the theme: "Advancing Peace & Sustainable Economic Development Through Royal Vision'.

The event, organized by the Diaspora Affairs Office of the Office of the President in strategic partnership with the E ON 3 Group, drew political, traditional, religious, and business leaders to the Manhyia Palace. Shirley Ayorkor Botchwey, the Secretary-General of the Commonwealth, was the Special Guest of Honour. Observers at the gala noted that the Asantehene's leadership has consistently bridged the gap between ancient tradition and modern economic progress.

The Diaspora Affairs Office emphasized that the gala served to reinforce the Asantehene's visionary leadership as a catalyst for national cohesion and economic progress. The organizers noted, "This celebration holds profound significance, as it honours the enduring legacy of His Majesty Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, whose visionary leadership has been instrumental in fostering peace… not only within the Asante Kingdom but across Ghana and the African continent."
