Kenya is divided into 47 geographical units, these units are known as counties, with each of them having a women representative, who is elected during the general elections. A county woman representative is a member of the National Assembly who represents one of the 47 counties in a seat reserved for female members. Women representatives help to advance women rights in order to achieve equality.
The role of women’s representative was created by the Constitution of Kenya that was adopted in a referendum in 2010 in order to increase the representation of women in parliament. The first representatives were elected in the 2013 Kenyan general election. The women representatives are elected by all registered voters in the county they represent, not only female voters.
Here are the women representatives in Kenya serving from 2022 to 2027.
