Otumfuo Appoints New Board of Directors for Asante Kotoko
Manhyia Palace has officially announced the appointment of a new Board of Directors for Asante Kotoko, following approval by His Majesty Otumfuo Osei Tutu II.
In a press release dated February 27, 2026, the Palace confirmed that the Asantehene has reconstituted the club’s governing board as part of efforts to strengthen oversight and leadership at the Ghana Premier League side.
Mr. James Osei Brown, Chief Executive Officer of Joshob Construction, has been named Chairman of the new Board. He will be assisted by Mr. Kwasi Osei Ofori, Chief Executive Officer of Rocksure, who assumes the role of Vice-Chairman.
Also appointed to the Board is Mr. Kofi Amoa-Abban, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Rigworld Group.
According to the statement issued by the Office of the Chief of Staff at Manhyia, the newly constituted Board is expected to immediately take up its statutory oversight responsibilities. However, the club’s Interim Management Committee (IMC) will continue handling day-to-day management duties until the conclusion of the 2025/2026 Premier League season.
The Chief of Staff at Manhyia, Mr. Kofi Badu, presided over a meeting to formally introduce the new Board to the interim management team and urged all parties to work together to ensure a smooth transition.
The incoming Chairman, Mr. James Osei Brown, reportedly assured stakeholders of the Board’s commitment to elevating Kotoko to greater heights and encouraged management to intensify their efforts during the remaining weeks of the season.
Meanwhile, Nana Akwasi Awuah Apinkrah, Chairman of the IMC, welcomed the new Board and pledged the full cooperation of his team throughout the transition period.
The appointment marks a significant step in Kotoko’s administrative restructuring as the club looks to reinforce its governance framework ahead of the upcoming season.
