The Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, was seen warmly receiving former vice president during the solemn one-week observance of the late Asantehemaa, Nana Konadu Yiadom III.

In a video shared by NPP Project Bureau on August 22, 2025, the Asantehene appeared very appreciative and excited by the former president's visit. "Asantehene Otumfuo Osei Tutu II is always delighted to meet Dr Mahamudu Bawumia.

It speaks volumes about Bawumia's personality and the high regard in which he is held by right-thinking members of society," the caption that accompanied the post read.

The meeting, which took place at the Manhyia Palace in Kumasi on August 21, highlights the mutual respect between the two dignitaries.
