Kenyatta University student is new Miss World Kenya

Idah Nguma, a 22–year-old marketing student at Kenyatta University, is the new Miss World Kenya after felling 24 finalists at a colourful gala held at the Kenyatta International Convention Centre in Nairobi.
 
The beauty queen will be Kenya’s representative to the 64th edition of the Miss World pageant to be held on Sunday December 14 at ExCeL London in England.

“I am so happy, I can’t express my joy,” said a tear-soaked Ms Nguma on receiving the crown from the incumbent Wangui Gitonga before a packed venue.


The final-year student is also the  reigning  Miss Machakos County.

The newly-crowned Miss World Kenya walked away with Sh1 million from East Africa Breweries Ltd and a brand new Vitz. 

She is to use the car for her project in raising awareness on breast and cervical cancer among other philanthropic causes.
