A replacement for the late Overlord of Gonja, Yagbonwura Sulemana Tuntunba Boressah Jakpa II is expected to be announced today, February 27.
The announcement of the next Yagbonwura is expected to take place at the Jakpa Palace in Damongo.
Citi News checks at the Palace indicate that the kingmakers of the kingdom are in a meeting preparing for the event.
Though the next Yagbonwura is generally known by all by virtue of the skin he currently occupies, the kingmakers will examine him on other criteria before he is pronounced.
Yagbonwura Sulemana Tuntunba Boressah Jakpa II passed on in the early hours of February 5.
Before his enskinment as Yagbonwura, he was the Paramount Chief of the Kusawgu Traditional Area of Gonja under the skin name Kusawguwura Sulemana Jakpa.
