The Senate today suspended consideration of the highly anticipated State Police Bill and all other legislative business at its emergency plenary session to honour the memory of Hon. Yaya Tongo, a member of the House of Representatives, whose death cast a sombre mood over the National Assembly.

MISS GERMANY 2025 DIANA FAST WITHDRAWS FROM MISS UNIVERSE PAGEANT. (PHOTO).


 Berlin, Germany – November 6, 2025 – Diana Fast, the newly crowned Miss Germany 2025, has announced her withdrawal from the upcoming Miss Universe pageant, surprising fans and the pageant community just weeks before the event.


The 24-year-old model and advocate from Munich won the national title in September during a ceremony in Baden-Baden. Recognized for her grace, bilingual skills, and dedication to environmental causes, especially ocean conservation, she was set to represent Germany in Mexico City this December. Her win highlighted a new chapter for German pageantry as one of the youngest recent champions.


In a heartfelt statement shared on the official Miss Germany account, Fast explained her decision: "After deep reflection, I've chosen to focus on my health and personal well-being. This journey has been a wonderful dream, but now it's time to prioritize healing and growth." Details remain private, though the demands of preparation and public attention are noted as factors.

Her choice reflects ongoing discussions in the beauty industry about well-being, with other contestants in recent years stepping back for similar reasons, including representatives from Sweden and the Philippines in 2024 who mentioned exhaustion.


Miss Germany officials shared their full support: "Diana's strength inspires us. We stand with her completely and wish her a bright future." The organization is now preparing to name a replacement, with first runner-up Lena Meyer as a leading candidate.

Diana Fast's thoughtful decision reminds everyone that true beauty comes from staying true to oneself.
