During 2020 and 2021, due to the global Covid-19 pandemic, Miss Planet International (MPI) did not host the pageant. It was not until 2022 that MPI announced its intention to hold the Miss Planet International pageant in Uganda. Although 68 member countries had registered by November 2022, the event could not take place as many countries withdrew for various reasons. Concerns about safety and security due to the Ebola outbreak led many candidates to withdraw just days before the event, causing the entire event to collapse and resulting in approximately $5 million in costs and reservations. Consequently, the planned event in Uganda was canceled, and the MPI competition was moved back to Cambodia, where it was held in January 2023 at the Diamond Island Theater in Phnom Penh.{{Cite news |title=Miss Planet International 2022 Candidates Were Allegedly Deprived of Food and Accommodation in Uganda |url=https://www.preview.ph/culture/miss-planet-international-no-food-accommodation-a2227-20221116-src-cosmo?ref=home_feed_39 |work=Preview Philippines}}

Chelsea Mandizha, representing the United Kingdom, was disqualified from a competition at the time due to allegations of physical aggression toward other contestants and misconduct toward staff and later that night the organizers announced that both of them could continue competing. During the live telecast of the 2024 edition, Miss Jordan, a finalist, walked off the stage. She alleged racism within the pageant, a claim that has generated significant attention and sparked widespread discussion among those involved in the competition.{{Cite web |date=2024-11-28 |title=ขายสวย หรือ ขายขำ!
