Mexico City, October 14, 2024

The Miss Universe Organization is aware of the confusion and concerns that were recently raised after the results of the Miss Universe Fiji pageant were called into question. We would like to assure all fans, participants and parties involved, that we have investigated this matter with the utmost seriousness and with the commitment to clarify the situation in a reasonable time.

There have been conflicting reports regarding the winner of the pageant. While Manshika Prasad was announced as the winner of the Miss Universe Fiji pageant, information posted on the Miss Universe Fiji organization’s website and official Instagram account suggest that Nadine Roberts was the winner, due to alleged voting irregularities.

The Miss Universe Organization, after communicating with the parties involved to better understand how events unfolded, and after reviewing that the processes and results of the national pageant have complied with the Organization’s transparency and fairness policies, and with our “pageantry 101” standards, has determined that the winner of Miss Universe Fiji 2024 is Miss Manshika Prasad.

The purpose of this investigation and consequential decision was to ensure that the true winner will be the one representing Fiji, fairly and honestly, at the upcoming pageant in Mexico.

We always appreciate your understanding and continued support. We trust that, through our rigorous and fair evaluation, we have been able to provide clarity and reinforce the integrity of our selection process.

For future updates and clear communication, we recommend following the official channels of the Miss Universe Organization.
