The third era of kingship in Kula Kingdom started with HRM (King) Ikpo Oko XXIII. He came up with a process of peacefully electing new kings whenever the need arises. This arrangement was introduced to avoid conflict in choosing a new King after the death of the old one. He thought it wise for kings to be chosen among the biological descendants of HRM King Igbaniye Oko 1st, by rotation along the stables of the seven Queens. This era marked the beginning and creation of lineages in the King Oko Royal Family.
