Gomoa Tarkwa in the Central Region came alive at the weekend as chiefs, residents and dignitaries gathered for a colourful grand durbar to climax the 2026 Ahobaa Kese Festival.
The event also marked the second anniversary of the installation of Daasebre Atta Kwakwa Egyir Opusu VII as the traditional leader of the area.
The celebration was held at the Methodist School Park under the theme, “Honouring Our Heritage, Building Our Future: A Call to Action for Gomoa Tarkwa.”
The theme set the tone for a celebration that combined culture with a strong call for development.
There were drumming, dancing and traditional displays as chiefs arrived in their colourful regalia.
Daasebre Atta Kwakwa Egyir Opusu VII used the occasion to call for unity and collective action to develop Gomoa Tarkwa.
He said the people must not allow the festival to become only an annual celebration.
He said it must also be used to discuss the challenges facing the community and find practical solutions.
The chief called on residents, traditional authorities, government, businesses and professionals to work together to improve the community.
He said Gomoa Tarkwa had people with the skills and experience needed to support its development.
He therefore urged residents to make good use of their knowledge and skills for the benefit of the community.
Daasebre Atta Kwakwa Egyir Opusu VII also called for proper management of resources.
The grand durbar attracted a number of prominent personalities including the Member of Parliament for Gomoa West and Deputy Minister of Energy, Richard Gyan Mensah; the Gomoa West District Chief Executive, Mohammed Kassim; and representatives of the Police, chiefs from the Central Region; and representatives of the Ghana Police Service and Ghana National Fire Service.
A candlelight procession was also held as part of the activities.
The second anniversary of Daasebre Atta Kwakwa Egyir Opusu VII also provided an opportunity to reflect on his leadership and the journey ahead.

President John Dramani Mahama will be joining African heads of state, business leaders, investors and innovators shaping Africa’s next chapter, at the inaugural Alamein Africa Forum scheduled to take place from 2nd to 4th October 2026 in the historic city of Alamein on Egypt’s Mediterranean coast.
The three-day Alamein Africa Forum is established as a permanent African Business Forum to convene biennially in Egypt.
It is to become the continent’s premier gathering where political power meets entrepreneurial prowess, bridging the established engines of African growth with the new sectors defining its future.
Co-organised by the Government of Egypt, African Export – Import Bank (Afreximbank), the African Union and AUDA-NEPAD, it is expected to bring together more than twenty (20) heads of state and government representatives alongside business leaders, bankers and development institutions.
Ghana’s President, who on 23rd September 2026 declared Ghana is open for business in New York after ringing the ceremonial closing bell at the Nasdaq Stock Market will be leading the Ghanaian delegation, to include the Minister for Trade, Agribusiness, and Industry, Elizabeth Ofosu – Adjare, to the forum.
Other members of the Ghanaian delegation are the Head and Presidential Advisor for Ghana’s 24-Hour Economy and Accelerated Export Development Programme, Hon. Augustus Goosie Tanoh, Ghana’s Special Envoy to the Alliance of Sahel States, Colonel Larry Gbevlo – Lartey alongside key Ghanaian private sector players.
Bringing together leaders in politics, business and policy from across the continent, the Alamein Africa Forum will provide a unique opportunity to shape Africa’s growth agenda by aligning policy and investment priorities, mobilising partnerships for implementation and strengthening financing and investment pathways.
The private sector must become an integral part of Agenda 2063, the African Union’s strategic fifty-year masterplan to transform the continent. The private sector is the core economic engine required to turn the African 2063 from an aspirational government roadmap into realized infrastructure, jobs, and value-added trade.
