Tanzania's Jihan Dimack is currently leading the Miss Grand International 2026's Country's Power of the Year title with 42% of the vote. She is in a three-way showdown with Ecuador's Shyare Andrade, who has 40%, and Vietnam's Emoura Phạm with 18%. The stakes are high, with only two finalists advancing to the final showdown for the Country's Power of the Year title. The winner will earn an automatic place in the Top 20 of the Miss Grand International 2026 grand finale.
The final round of voting closes today, with the winner of the Country's Power of the Year contest set to be revealed live on stage on Saturday in Bangkok, Thailand. Fashion expert Steven Mwasota has urged Tanzanians to maintain the voting momentum. He stressed that the current campaign is about securing Jihan's progression rather than immediately crowning her Miss Grand International.
Mwasota described the Country's Power of the Year campaign as an opportunity for Tanzanians to demonstrate their unity and patriotism on an international stage. He emphasized that if Tanzania wins Country's Power of the Year, it will show that the country is united and has solidarity, love, and patriotism.
Jihan's momentum extends beyond the Country's Power of the Year contest. She is also leading the Miss Popular vote, another fast-track category that offers a route into the Top 10. According to the latest voting figures, Jihan currently commands 35%, followed by Vietnam's Emoura Phạm with 18%, and Chile's Ignacia Michelson with 9%.
The double lead puts Tanzania in a strong position as the competition enters its decisive final days. Mwasota said winning the voting categories would give Jihan additional momentum in her quest for the main crown. He emphasized that leading in Miss Popular would push Jihan even closer to winning the Miss Grand International crown.
The competition is heating up, with the final round of voting closing today. Tanzanians are urged to continue voting to secure Jihan's progression into the Top 20. The winner of the Country's Power of the Year contest will be revealed live on stage on Saturday in Bangkok, Thailand.
