According to the organizers, everything is set for the final event, and all Kenyans are welcome. "We have finalists who are ready to compete for crowns. Everyone wants to win, but they know there can only be one winner in each category. We will crown Miss, Mrs., and Mr., with three crowns in total," Immaculate explains. "Each contestant will be competing, and of course, fashion matters in beauty pageants here in Kenya. We have asked every finalist to consider styles that will promote culture as well as made-in-Kenya fashion. We're also asking the audience to join us in promoting culture and Kenyan heritage through their attire."

Warren Peter, a 21-year-old contestant representing Nairobi County and currently holding the Mr. Nairobi Crown, is another hopeful. "I'm deeply entrenched in a myriad of passions, from strumming melodies on the guitar and singing to the intricate artistry of modeling, fashion styling, and serving in my church community," he says.
