Miss Universe Ghana 2018

Akpene Diata Hoggar, the representative of the Brong-Ahafo Region of Ghana, emerged as the winner of the 2018 edition of the Miss Universe Ghana pageant.

Akpene Diata Hoggar is a model, blogger, and an entrepreneur who also aspires to become a global change agent. She was part of the final ten contestants who survived the numerous tests out of the over 200 ladies who started the competition a few weeks ago.

The runner-up was Vanessa Tekor Akuetteh, a budding paralegal and a model, who represented the Western Region.

The event was organized by Maltz Promotions, led by Menaye Donkor, who is a former winner of the competition herself and wife of the Ghanaian international footballer Sulley Muntari. It took place at the Labadi Beach Hotel.

The winner won a brand new car and will compete in Miss Universe 2018, in Thailand.

Congratulations and success to the new Miss Universe Ghana!

GB comment: After placing in the Top 16 of the 2017 Miss Universe pageant, Ghana will have a tough mission to keep the streak going. It debuted in Miss Universe back in 1991 and advanced to the semi-finals only twice.
