Miss Grand Zambia Withdraws from Miss Grand International Over Personal Circumstances

ARM Model Management, the Lusaka-based agency managing Miss Grand Zambia, has announced that the reigning titleholder will not compete in this month's Miss Grand International pageant.

In an official statement released by the agency, ARM Model Management said Miss Grand Zambia "will not be participating in Miss Grand International this month due to unforeseen personal circumstances that require her immediate attention."

The agency said the decision followed careful deliberation, noting it had chosen "to allow her the necessary time away from the competition to attend to these circumstances and focus on what is most important at this time."

ARM Model Management also appealed to the public and media for discretion, asking that they "respect her privacy and that of her family during this period," while thanking supporters for their "continued support, understanding, and well wishes."

The statement did not specify the nature of the personal circumstances involved. The agency said updates on her pageant future would follow in due course, noting that "further information regarding her pageant journey will be communicated by ARM Model Management at the appropriate time."

The statement was signed by ARM Model Management in its capacity as the entity responsible for the "Management & Representation of Miss Grand Zambia."
