The Oguaamanhene, Osaberima Kwesi Atta, invited Otumfuo to be a guest speaker at the much-anticipated festival. As a result, Otumfuo has temporarily relinquished his duties.
In his absence, one of the noblemen has taken over as Asantehene while the other has become the caretaker of Kumasi.
Who takes over as Ashantehene?
In the absence of Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, the entire Asante Kingdom is under the care of Asanteman Nifahene, Daasebre Osei Bonsu II, Mamponghene and the Occupant of the Silver Stool.
He will handle the affairs of the Kingdom until Asantehene returns from his journey to the coast.
Who takes over Kumasi?
The entire Kumasi is under the care of Bantamahene Baffuor Owusu Amankwaatia VI, the Krontihene of Kumaseman. He will administer his role as the caretaker of Kumasi until Otumfuo returns from the coast.
When the King returns, they will update him about whatever has transpired in his absence.

Oguaamanhene gives Otumfuo key to Cape Coast
YEN.com.gh earlier reported that the Oguaamanhene handed over the Cape Coast key to the Asantehene.
This symbolic gesture was aimed to strengthen the bond between the people of Cape Coast and the Ashantis.
Otumfuo, humbled by the gesture, received the key from the Oguaamanhene in good faith during a meeting.
