Nana Ama Bonsu has been officially unveiled as the 15th Asantehemaa, succeeding the late Nana Konadu Yiadom III.
The traditional ceremony was held at the Manhyia Palace in Kumasi on Monday, July 6, 2026, bringing to an end the transition process following the death of Nana Konadu Yiadom III in 2025.
The position of Asantehemaa became vacant after the passing of Nana Konadu Yiadom III, who served as the 14th Queen Mother after her installation in 2017 by Asantehene Otumfuo Osei Tutu II.
The Asantehemaa serves as the custodian of the royal lineage and plays a key role in the selection and nomination of an Asantehene when the Golden Stool becomes vacant.
The office also provides guidance on customary matters and supports the welfare of women, children and the wider Asante community.
The Manhyia Palace is expected to release further details on the background and profile of Nana Ama Bonsu in due course.
