Daronique Young will represent Bahamas at Miss World in China

Daronique Young will represent Bahamas at this year's  Miss World competition to be held on August 18th, 2012 in Dongsheng Fitness Center Stadium, Ordos, Inner Mongolia, China.

Daronique who was the first runner up to Sasha Joyce in last year’s Miss Bahamas competition was chosen to represent the nation at this year’s Miss World pageant, as there were no official competition this year.

Several factors led to this development, including changes in the dates of Miss World and the pending general elections. MBO sought and was granted permission by the Miss World office to send the runner-up from last year's pageant to this year's finale.

Miss Bahamas World Organization is confident that Daronique will represent the country well. “She’s the complete package – beauty, brains, body, and one of the sweetest personalities you would ever want to meet.”

An elated Daronique  after hearing the news  said, “I’m beyond excited!. My dream has always been to enter Miss World, and I had planned to enter the Miss Bahamas pageant again to pursue that dream. I’m blessed that the dream has come to me instead, and I look forward to representing my country to the best of my ability.”

The 21 year old is also a former  Miss Theodore Elyett's - Miss Teen Bahamas World, which she won in 2008. 

Daronique will embark on her quest  for the coveted title on July 17th.
