Reikat describes structure and legitimation of rule in the traditional State of Tenkodogo and analyzes a process which has led to questioning both: The conflict started when the post of a village chief was to be filled. This, however, endangered even the position of the king, because some ´modern´ politicians and wealthy businessmen tried to influence this process, and others tried to make it an ethnic issue.
