After weeks of preparing for the beauty pageant which included a lot
of pageant competition training and primping classes, 10 beautiful
hopeful contestants gave their final best shot last Friday for a chance
to be crowned the most beautiful girl in Kenya and 23 year old Wangui Gitonga, a Linguistics student at German school emerged the winner.
Wangui who describes herself as humble and resilient
could not believe the coveted crown was all hers and she couldn’t help
but shed tears of joy. She explains that with her discipline and her
newly acquired title she will try and help change lives for young boys
and girls who are facing sexual exploitation across the country. Besides
the beautiful crown, which she took over from the outgoing Miss World
Kenya 2012 Shamim Nabil , Ms Wangui took home a check worth Ksh1 Million.
The 1st Runner-up was 21 year old Leah Tesfamariam, a
first year International Relations student at Maseno University who
took home a cash prize of Ksh100, 000 and the 2nd runner-up prize went
to 21 year old Sophia Umwiza a student at Mass Communication Multimedia University who took home a cash prize of ksh50, 000.
The other contestants were Ubah Musa, Tabitha Maina, Yvonne Amondi, Purity Michael, Paynette Nyawara, Janet Tianda and Alice Mutiso. Ubah Musa was crowned Miss Congeniality.
The Miss World criteria for choosing the fairest among all requires
that aside from being at least 5’7 tall and slight in weight, a beauty
queen should have flawless skin and a near perfect dental formula. It
would seem Wangui has what it takes according to the Miss World Kenya
beauty pageant judges. Wangui will represent Kenya in the 2013 Miss
World competition to be held in Indonesia in September
