Asantehene Otumfuo Osei Tutu II has appointed his 83-year-old elder sister, Nana Ama Konadu, as the new Asantehemaa.
Nana Ama Konadu will succeed Afia Kobi Serwaa Ampem II, the Asante monarch's mother who passed away at the age of 111 after reigning for 39 years.
An official announcement is expected from the Manyhia Palace soon with the needed processes associated with the enstoolment following soon.
Nana Ama Konadu will be the 14th queen of the Asante kingdom.
It is likely the next queen will be out doored during the next ‘Akwasidae’.

HOW CAN A WOMAN IN HER 80S REASON WELL
Nice pick. Shame on all who were waiting for a younger successor to picked so you dream of scandalizing her. This one, we can be sure she's not posted any bad pictures of her on social media, any man she's ever dated will either be to too old or even dead so no issues of blackmailing. Y3 p3 y'ade3 saa. Mmoaaa.aa......... nanahemaa wo nkwa so! We get sense pass. Lol
...kkd was wrong but and as for you k-wuo, get your facts well...the queen of England became the queen at the age of 26 and not +70...this is the Ashanti tradition and must be respected...
I think she is too tired and should have been allowed to rest, I don't know the rational behind this but honestly she is too weak to be overburdened with this heavy tittle.
KKD, respect other people's tradition and culture, and don't judge if don't have all the facts.
if you want a younger lady to be a the queen of Ashanti, first go and advice the queen of England to step down for a younger lady to take over, KKD, KWASI ADUSEI, which ever your name is, the last time i check those who came out with a similar statement of yours when Nana Afia Kobi was announced all died before this queen, you call your self young but trust me, you will go pass her.
funeral rites are the business for the ashantes and so they always want someone to die so they can please their gods and solicit for money in the name of culture which is full of juju. why do you have to appoint this 83 years old tired woman as a queen? you the otumfuor or whatever you call yourself,were you not appointed as king at an age far below 40 years?. you want gullible people to contribute for you again after her death heh?
Is she the only person qualified at the moment? why not a much younger and more physically strong woman who can be much more effective to bring development to Asanteman in particular and Ghana in general? It cost individuals and the nation dearly anytime there's a funeral of a prominent royal like Asantehene/Asantehemaa in Ghana. some government works stand still, schools closed, economic activities banned, funearls of dear ones banned costing them to incur more debt as the time prolongs. A lot of negatives than positives and in the end, Ghanaians in general suffer and not Asantes alone. l am therefore urging Otumfuo and Asanteman council to look into this again and appoint a much younger person who could potentially rule for decades (God's willing)
These old folks want to take everything away from the youth.I bet anyone there are more young ladies at Manhyia palace but because of power drunk look at the decision. Eiii Ghana so no trust for the youth? Somebody should tell her she should rest and allow young blood to do the job. My goodness you are 83 and still wants power and wealth.
It is not true. This cannot happen.
