Poka Wins Ghana's Most Beautiful
Upper East Region's representative in this year's Ghana's Most Beautiful reality show, Lawrencia Ayapoka Anafo, has been crowned winner of the 2013 edition. She walks away with a brand new saloon car, GH¢8,000 and 12 months of regular supply of fabrics from GTP as well as souvenirs from sponsors.
The finals came off on Sunday, November 24, 2013 at the Accra International Conference Center. Patrons packed within the auditorium had their money's worth as they got entertained by great musicians, including highlife maestro Abrantie Amakye Dede, Dobble, Guru and D-Crime.
The five finalists were Lawrencia Ayapoka Anafo (Poka), Maame Akua Konadu Yiadom, Rose Kennedy Adjei (Akua), Juliana Titiati Bubune and Delimene (Deli) and the judges were David Dontoh and Linda Ampah
The International conference venue was packed to capacity, which included Ministers of State, Members of Parliament, chiefs and queen mothers from across the length and breadth of the country.
It was the casual wear display and the question-and-answer that got fans and supporters sitting at the edge of their chairs.
Deli appeared to have stolen the show in the talent display segment. Her act, which highlighted some of the ills in the Ghanaian society, especially the blatant disregard for time, attracted positive remarks from the judges.
Poka and Akua also put up acts condemning early marriage and neglect of autistic children respectively. At the end of the night's show, it was Poka who emerged tops.
Bubune came a close second, walking away with GH¢7,000 and six months of supply of GTP fabrics while Konadu came third, becoming GH¢6,000 richer.
