The Ewe State of Anlo is headed by the Awoamefia. the traditional political and spiritual leader of the Anlos. The first Awoamefia, Togbi Sri I, instituted a system of selecting rulers in alternating fashion from the Adzovia and Bate clans. He wanted to ensure that his successor would be Adeladza of the Bate clan instead of a member of his own Adzovia clan. He did this to reward Adeladza for successfully recovering the Awoamefia stool from King Agorkoli II of Notsie.
