Kenya is celebrating the occasion as it cheers Teddy Rossiter for the Mr. World 2024 finals, which are set to take place in Vietnam today, November 23rd, starting at 3 PM Kenyan time, and promises to showcase his charisma, talent, and passion on the global stage.

Kipchumba Murkomen, Cabinet Secretary for Sports, lauded the event as an opportunity to celebrate Kenyan youth and their talents.

"We have a duty to support and encourage our youth, helping them seize local and global opportunities. Teddy Rossiter is our gift from Kenya to the world. Go forth and conquer the pageantry stage, Teddy—we’re proud of you!” he said in a statement.

The Ministry of Youth Affairs, Creative Economy, and Sports has been at the forefront in fostering talent in Kenya's creative economy.

Through such moves, the Ministry supports the monetization of creative skills, so that the youth in Kenya can turn their passions into livelihoods.

"Teddy's journey reflects our commitment toward nurturing talent within the creative economy and empowering youth to convert their passions into livelihoods," Murkomen underscored.

As Teddy hits the runway today, Kenyans are being urged to rally behind him by voting at mrworld.1voting.com. Voting is free, and every single vote counts in bringing the crown home to Kenya.

The event will be streamed live on various platforms, including the official Mr. World and Miss World YouTube channels, www.mrworld.tv, and the Sen Vàng YouTube channel.

These are the moments when fans and supporters can listen and watch Teddy go for the coveted title.

This mission is proudly sponsored by the Ministry of Youth Affairs, Sports, and Creative Economy,@moyasa_ke, and shows the increasing presence of Kenya on the world stage in many aspects.

A win for him means a win for the country; it will also serve as an inspiration to the youth of the nation about how high they can go with determination and support.

The excitement about the Mr. World finals underlines the importance of providing young talents with platforms to shine internationally.
