Four hopefuls for the woman representative position in Embu have impressed residents by campaigning together.

This was unheard of in the 2013 elections. Former Kigari Teacher's College tutor Josphine Wambura (DP), former microfinance bank manager Niceta Njoki (independent), former lecturer Violet Mukami (Agano), and former Embu Gender Chief Officer Monicah Syombua (independent) have not shown the antagonism that is typical of electioneering.
