The kingmakers of Ejisu Traditional Area have accepted the nomination of a London-based businessman, Mr Kwadwo Frimpong, as the new paramount chief of Ejisu Traditional Area.
Mr Frimpong was among seven other candidates who came up for consideration for the vacant stool following the death of Nana Aboagye Agyei II on April 14, 2008.
The late chief, who ruled for 15 years and died at the age of 80, has already been buried. But his funeral rites are yet to be performed.
In traditional context, a new chief has to be installed before the funeral rites can be properly observed.
The acceptance of the candidature of Mr Frimpong followed the presentation of the candidate to the kingmakers by the queen of the traditional area, Nana Yaa Asantewaa II, who had earlier accepted the new candidate.
Nana Asantewaa told the Daily Graphic in an interview at her palace at Ejisu last Sunday that Mr Frimpong had formally been introduced to the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, as custom demanded.
He said his introduction to Otumfuo Osei Tutu had paved the way for him to be confined for orientation before the final installation.
