The Ashanti King Visit

On Sunday, June 9, 2024, the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, visited the King of the Ga State, Ga Mantse, Nii Tackie Teko Tsuru II, at the Ga Mantse Palace in Accra. The visit was part of activities commemorating a historic visit by the King of Asante. This marks only the second time an Asante monarch has visited a Ga King, the first visit occurring in 1946. The event comes after Ga Mantse recently attended the 25th-anniversary celebration of Otumfuo Osei Tutu II's ascension to the throne and his 74th birthday celebration.
