Charter House, organizers of Miss Malaika have denied media reports that the Miss Malaika 2011 pageant was nothing more than a stolen verdict.

According to NewsOne report, “investigations have revealed that Gerry Partington actually won the contest on a clean slate and with clean hands as the final score sheet revealed – that three out of the five judges for the night actually voted in her favour.

Though a section of the media had reported that three of the judges voted for Alexandra Ayirebi-Acquah and that only two voted for Gerry Partington, evidence on the ground and the score sheets prove that the judges rather ruled in favour of Gerry but it was the announcer who slipped when announcing the results”.

Speaking on the issue of stolen verdict which many have regarded as going to profoundly affect the ratings of Miss Malaika, Charter House Public Relations Manager-Juno Abena Turkson told NewsOne that “These are very credible persons within the entertainment industry and they are available for anyone to ask them how they voted. Apart from that, it is unfair to blame Charter House because we do not decide who should win and who should not win. We leave that decision entirely to the judges and all we do is to provide them with the score sheets and give them the criteria.
