Akyempimhene, or vice-king, is the title bestowed upon one of the chiefs in the Ashanti Kingdom, located in Ghana, Africa. The throne is occupied by a son of any Ashanti king (Asantehene), and he takes care of the royal family. The Akyempimhene represents the king, along with the king's sub-chiefs. He is also part of the Kumasi traditional council, which oversees the city. The current Akyempimhene is Oheneba Adusei Poku, son of the late Otumfuo Nana Poku Ware.[1] Oheneba was enstooled in 1992.[2] He is a Harvard Law School graduate.Шаблон:Citation needed
