LIVESTREAMING: Asantehene graces final funeral rites of the late Mamponghene

The final funeral rites, ‘Dote Yie’, of the late Mamponghene, Daasebre Osei Bonsu II, which started on Saturday, June 7, 2025, will end on Monday, June 9, 2025.

The first two days of the ‘Dote Yie’ saw leading political figures in the country, including former Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, as well as traditional rulers from across the country, paying their last respects to the late occupant of the Silver Stool of the Asante Kingdom.

The Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, will be gracing the last day of the ‘Dote Yie’ of his second-in-command.

Daasebre Osei Bonsu, who was born on December 31, 1939, passed on at age 86 and reigned for 26 years.

Until his ascension to the throne, he was known as Saint Oswald Gyimah-Kessie, a lawyer and an economist by profession, who later served as Registrar of the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology.

Known for his diplomacy and unwavering dedication, Daasebre Osei Bonsu’s legacy spans decades of service both to his people and to Ghana’s broader chieftaincy institution.
