Miss Universe Kenya 2024 is Irene Ng'endo


After a 2-year hiatus, Kenya is set to return to the Miss Universe stage with Irene Ng'endo Mukii who was crowned Miss Universe Kenya 2024 on Friday, August 16 at the Argyle Grand Hotel in Nairobi.

The 26-year-old software engineer beat 15 other finalists to win the national title. She will represent Kenya at the Miss Universe 2024 pageant in Mexico this November.

Mercy Jerotich and Stacy Sang were named the first and second runners-up, respectively.

Reigning Miss Universe from Nicaragua, Sheynnis Palacios, was a special guest at the glittering event.

The new Miss Universe Kenya is also a philanthropist and fitness enthusiast. She founded The Mansion Dance Studio, which offers ballet and general dance classes to kids and young adults.

No stranger to pageantry, Irene is a former Miss Grand Kenya. She competed in Miss Grand International 2020 in Bangkok, Thailand where she placed in the Top 20.

Kenya has yet to win the Miss Universe crown since its debut at the pageant in 1987. The country's highest placement was in 2016 when Mary Esther Were made the Top 6.
