Miss Universe Fiji 2024

Roberts was originally announced as the winner, but after the contest a press release stated that correct procedures had not been followed on the night and the licence holder of Miss Universe Fiji Lux Projects was not given the determining vote of the final result from the contracted organiser Grant Dwyer.[6] It was alleged that Dwyer who managed Prasad prior to the pageant, had pressured the panel which included Dwyer's friend and Indian judge Raj Suri[7] to choose Prasad, because a "Fiji Indian" contestant would bring financial benefits and sponsorships from the Indian community to the manager.[8] Following an investigation by The Miss Universe Organization, Prasad was appointed as the winner.[9]
