Who won Miss Uganda 2025?
Elle Trivia Muhoza was crowned Miss Uganda 2025–26 at 2:15 AM on September 21, 2025. The 22-year-old from Butanga Village, Bukomansimbi District, a standout graduate of Uganda Aviation Academy (top student of 2024), stood resplendent in a bespoke gown that flowed like the Nile’s serene waters. Her “EMU: Empowering Mothers in Uganda” project, a passionate mission to champion education, rights, and holistic support for teenage and single mothers—especially survivors of gender-based violence—captured the judges’ hearts, earning her the crown amid a shower of confetti and fervent cheers.
A lover of fashion curation, swimming, podcasts, and novels, Muhoza draws strength from her mother’s wisdom, pledging to amplify marginalized voices worldwide. “This crown is a platform to uplift every mother and survivor, weaving empowerment into Uganda’s future,” she declared, her eyes alight with resolve.
The intimate gathering—alive with families, ardent fans, and VIPs—magnified every heartbeat of the night, undimmed by the smaller crowd. Streamed live on StarTimes Makula Kika, the finale was a tapestry of emotion, with Muhoza’s victory marking a new chapter for Ugandan advocacy.
