A touch of Royalty: Ghana’s Traditional Leaders rock kente in style

Accra, May 20, GNA – A rich display of culture and royalty lit up the Merck Foundation Ghana Alumni Summit 2026 in Accra as traditional leaders graced the event resplendent in stunning kente and gold.

From intricate gold patterns to vibrant handwoven designs, our Photojournalist, Nii Martey M. Botchway, captured the elegance and pride with which they showcased the beauty of Ghana’s rich cultural heritage.

Wrapped in beautifully woven fabrics steeped in colour, symbolism and tradition, the queen mothers added a unique Ghanaian touch to the summit, bringing dignity, identity and splendour to the gathering.

Their regal presence served as a powerful reminder of the enduring relevance of Ghanaian culture and traditional leadership in national and continental conversations on development and empowerment.
