Miss Campus (Center) and the runners up
Joan Musumba is the new Miss University Kenya.
The Kenyatta University Economics and Statistics student beat 16 other finalists from various universities — among them two fellow Kenyatta University models who had beaten her during the preliminaries — to scoop the coveted crown during a glitz ceremony held at the Kenyatta International Convention Centre (KICC) on Friday night.
On second place was Winnie Njoki from Multimedia University of Kenya with the current Miss Kenyatta University Eunice Njeri coming third.
“This is both humbling and overwhelming,” a jovial Joan told MondayBlues minutes after winning the crown.
“It presents a new challenge to me as being Miss University Kenya leaves me with great responsibilities among them representing Kenya during the Miss University Africa finals in October,” added Joan, an extrovert who describes herself as a go-getter.
Coincidentally, Joan has been working under the mentorship of the outgoing Miss University Eunice Kamau, also from Kenyatta University.
“I am so happy that Joan takes the crown from me. I mentored her and I agree that she deserved to win in this competition that was truly a close call,” Eunice remarked.
The winners went home with big cash rewards presented to them by the Nairobi Senator Mike Sonko who was one of the guests.
