Keenly contested, everyone was optimistic of driving home the brand new Hyundai Elantra, winning the ultimate prize money and taking home souvenirs from sponsors.
Sooner than later, the Master of Ceremonies (MC), mentioned a third-year student of the Institute of Business Management and Journalism (IBM&J), Abrewanana, from Mim who represented Ahafo, as the Miss Golden Stool 2022 winner.
For her prize, she took home a brand new Hyundai Elantra, GH₵7,000 and souvenirs from sponsors.

Osiabou, from Juaben Ati in the Ashanti Region, ended up as the second runner-up, receiving GH₵4,000 as her prize.
Speaking to The Spectator, the Queen, Abrewanana, said this would afford her the opportunity to execute her project of touching the lives of single mothers.
According to her, the aim of her project is to empower single mothers to cater for their children to positively impact the society.
She expressed appreciation to all those who voted for her to win the contest, adding that she would continue to count on them.
The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Group Jay & Jay, the organiser, Sally Akua Amoakowaa, congratulated all the contestants for a good show, and told the finalists that this should not be the end of the road for them.
“There are a lot of avenues the platform has given you, so make use of it rather than throw their hands in despair,” she added.
Akua Amoakowaa expressed appreciation to her team for their dedication and the sponsors for their immense contribution in making the event a success.
At the final show, the contestants exhibited their talents, culture and intelligence through the various phases of the competition.

Ghanaian musician Sparqlyn is set to release another big hit.
His latest release, ‘Rosina,’ features Germany-based Ghanaian musician, video director, and sound engineer TEENO (known privately as Eric Kwame Tamakloe).
TEENO’s project ‘Signs’ was recently accepted by the Grammys for official consideration in the ‘Album of the Year’ category. Now, ‘Rosina’ is making serious waves across the airwaves.
Coming shortly after the impressive reception to his previous single ‘Fameko,’ ‘Rosina’ is already receiving strong attention from music lovers and radio listeners.
This new song carries an infectious Afrobeats and Hiplife feel while maintaining the romantic direction that characterised ‘Fameko,’ Sparqlyn’s 2026 Highlife collaboration with Ziya.
‘Fameko’ marked an important moment in Sparqlyn’s musical journey, with the love-themed highlife record receiving positive reactions from music lovers and media platforms following its June 2026 release.
The song became one of the highlights of his 2026 output, ranking high on multiple charts.
‘Fameko’ has also bagged Sparqlyn two top nominations: “Highlife Song of the Year” and “Artist of the Year” at the 2026 Stars Awards.
The combination of a romantic storyline, Afrobeats rhythm, and Hiplife influence give the song a sound that fits comfortably into the current Ghanaian music landscape.
The timing of the song’s release could also prove significant for the award-winning artiste. Sparqlyn recently secured two nominations at the 2026 Ghana Youth Empowerment Awards, where he is in contention for Youth Empowerment Advocate of the Year and Outstanding Youth Personality of the Year.
With ‘Fameko’ having established strong momentum earlier in the year and ‘Rosina’ now beginning to enjoy significant airplay, Sparqlyn appears to be ending another eventful chapter of his musical career on a high note.

Ghanaian highlife and Afrobeats singer Kuami Eugene Marfo known in showbiz circles as Kuami Eugene has urged fellow musicians and entertainers to use their influence on social media and other platforms to champion causes that positively impact society.
The award-winning artiste made the call during a UNICEF Ghana birth registration advocacy campaign in Bepoase in the Ayensuano District of the Eastern Region, where he joined officials from UNICEF Ghana and the Births and Deaths Registry to raise awareness about the importance of registering children at birth.
He explained that artistes wield significant influence and should leverage platforms such as TikTok, Facebook and Instagram to amplify important social initiatives and encourage behavioural change.
The musician, who has partnered UNICEF Ghana on several child-focused campaigns, said he had a special interest in issues affecting children and was committed to supporting efforts that improved their welfare and future opportunities.
He noted that birth registration was critical because it established a child’s legal identity and ensured recognition as a Ghanaian citizen.
The advocacy drive forms part of UNICEF Ghana’s efforts to improve birth registration rates across the country through community engagements, public education and collaboration with traditional authorities.
The musician said he remained focused on creating quality music while continuing to support social causes that contribute to national development, particularly initiatives aimed at improving the lives of children. –GNA
