Equatorial Guinea may compete in Miss Universe for the first time

Lidia Avomo was recently elected Miss Equatorial Guinea,  and Judith Nfono Ngoma, the pageant’s organizer, said that she is already carrying out the appropriate processes to try to get Avomo to participate in the next Miss Universe competition. “The choice of a beauty queen from Angola has been an inspiration,” she says.
When asked if the African country could participate in the upcoming Miss Universe competition, Judith recalled that Equatorial Guinea has not yet been in the election of Miss Universe. But, after mentioning that the last Miss Universe is an African, specifically, the Angolan Leila da Costa Vieira Lopes, Judith believes that her victory has been an inspiration. Therefore, the director of the international beauty contest has not hesitated and has sent the request to participate so that Equatorial Guinea can compete in the next Miss Universe competition.
