However, it appears that the X account Gashumba congratulated may be fake. Another account under the name Natasha Nyonyozi claims that the aforementioned account is not genuine.

The first runner-up was Suraya Umeimah Bashuaeb, and the second runner-up was Joan Nabatanzi. Nyonyozi succeeds Hannah Karema Tumukunde, who was crowned Miss Uganda 2023/24 on March 18, 2023, at the UMA Multipurpose Hall.

Reports indicate that 23-year-old Natasha Nyonyozi was born and raised in Kyonyo, Kamuganguzi, near Katuna in the Kabale district. During the Miss Uganda pageant, she demonstrated her charisma, elegance, compassion, passion, poise, and confidence.

She was contestant number two among the 28 finalists vying for the prestigious Miss Uganda title for 2024/25. At one point, her fellow contestants elected her as the president of the Miss Uganda class of 2024/25.

David Bahati, the NRM Chairperson for Kabale and Minister of State for Trade, Industry, and Cooperatives, as well as the Member of Parliament for Ndorwa County West, stated: "I congratulate Natasha Nyonyonzi, our Banyakigezi daughter from Ndorwa County West, for winning the Miss Uganda Competition and bringing the crown home. We thank the parents, the Mutabazi family, for nurturing her to become the pride of our nation."
