The New Juaben Traditional Area in the Eastern Region on Monday outdoored a new Paramount Chief, known as Nana Kwadwo Yeboah Gyamfi.
He is to replace the late Dasebree Prof. Emeritus Oti Boateng II, who died last year and buried this year.
As the customs and traditions demand, a new Chief has to be enstooled after the demise of the old chief and sit in the state for the final funeral rites to take place.
However, four royals contested but Nana Gyamfi’s ascension unanimously endorsed.
He is to be confined for 40 days after which he will take a stool name and swear allegiance to the state and the subchiefs to their new king.
He was paraded before the Ashanti-Juaben Omanhene, Nana Otuo Sereboe, at the forecourt of the Yiadom-Hwedie Palace where he was officially outdoored to the king markers and sub-chiefs of the area.
The Oyoko Royal Odehyie Kwadawo Yeboah Gyamfi was born on 1st March 1971 to Nana Kumnipa
clan of New Juaben.
He is the eighth born of the mother’s eleven children and has his primary school education at Madonna International School In Koforidua where he sat for and passed the common entrance examination and gained admission to St. Peters Secondary School in Nkwantia for his Secondary Education.
