Sharon Gichuhi has been crowned Miss Technical University of Kenya 2026/2027 at the SATUK Awards gala held on Friday 6 November 2026 at S Block, TUK.

Gichuhi, contestant number 13, wore a gold lace gown, a silver crown and a black sash reading "Miss Technical University of Kenya 2026/2027", and carried a bouquet of red and white flowers.

She names herself as the new Miss TUK on camera in a street interview by @jayonthestreets_, posted on Instagram on 7 November, which is corroborated by the same creator's Threads post the same day saying he served as a judge at the gala, crowned the winners, and interviewed the newly crowned Miss TUK Sharon Gichuhi.

Asked what she will do first with the title, Gichuhi said she wants to encourage young people, especially at TUK, to pursue opportunities outside their classroom studies and not be defined by one version of themselves. On never having won before, she said: "you just pick yourself up and you keep moving." Her closing message was: "push and do whatever you can to get out of your comfort zone because you never know what is yet to come."

The gala, themed "Ubuntu", was presented by Sherehe Vibes Africa together with SATUK, with guest artist Goddy Tennor and hosts including Eugine Micah. It ran from 2pm till late on Friday, closing TUK's Cultural Week.

A Mr TUK 2026/27 was also crowned — seen in photos and video in a blue patterned tuxedo jacket, black hat and bolo tie, wearing a "Mr Technical University" sash and holding a wooden ceremonial staff — but his name appears in no text source found: not on the SATUK Awards site, not on TUK's Facebook page, and not on @tukface.ke, @sherehe.vibes, @urban_newsgang, @djlux_ke or @jayontherunway_.

The Mr Popularity and Mr Culture 2026/2027 titles went to the contestant posting as "Heis Generali"; his real name was not given.

Voting for the wider SATUK Awards closed on 24 October 2026.
