Otumfuo Osei Tutu II is the Asantehene
Seychelles President-elect, Patrick Herminie, has officially invited the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, to attend his inauguration on October 26, 2025.
The announcement was made in a post shared on X by Opemsuo Radio on Thursday, October 16, 2025.
“Seychelles President-elect, Patrick Herminie, invites Asantehene to his inauguration on October 26,” the post read.
Why the Asantehene has postponed the Odwira Festival indefinitely
Former Speaker Patrick Herminie defeated President Wavel Ramkalawan in a run-off election, restoring full control of the archipelago nation’s government to his longtime ruling party, United Seychelles.
His victory with 52.7% of the vote follows the party’s triumph in the first round of the general election in September, when it reclaimed the parliamentary majority it had lost in 2015.
Additionally, the Asantehene has also been invited by the President of Suriname, Jennifer Simons, to attend the country’s Independence Day celebration in November.
