The necessary traditional rites to pave way for the enstoolment of a new chief for the Prampram Traditional Area in the Greater Accra region is expected to take place on the 30th of November 2021.
A communique issued and signed by the kingmakers of the Prampram Traditional Area said, the need to reschedule the customary rites and coronation of the new king, which was originally scheduled for October 31st 2021, was as a result of the said date coinciding with the final funeral rites of the late Gbawe chief in Accra.
It would be recalled that heads and kingmakers of the three Royal Gates in the Prampram Paramountcy, had in August 2021 served notice to enstool a new king for the area. They averred that, the need to enstool a new chief is as a result of the Paramount stool being vacant years.
The August press conference which had brought some excitement amongst indigenes of the Prampram Paramountcy, was expected to bring an end to the protracted Chieftaincy disputes .

However, the latest statement signed by the heads of the 3 royal gates and the Paramount Stool Father Numo Osabu Abbey IV, is urging members of the general public to have faith in the kingmakers that a new chief will be enstooled by close of November.
It also called on the general public to be measured in their excitement during the coronation process to formally outdoor the new king, who has since been selected and due to be confined in the stool room for the necessary customary rites to be performed to formally pave way for his outdooring.
Meanwhile, kingmakers in the Prampram Paramountcy has called on the Chieftaincy Minister to as a matter of urgency bring to book some persons within the Greater Accra Regional House of Chiefs, who attempted gazetting one Nene Tetteh Wakah III as chief of Prampram.
The kingmakers say the timely intervention of the Paramount Stool Father, Numo Osabu Abbey IV who had petitioned the National House of Chiefs against the said gazetting prevented a blood bath.
