In spite of the improved prospects of Kenyan women in politics, challenges remain

Despite many challenges, Kenya has witnessed unprecedented transformation in women’s political participation since the promulgation of the new Constitution in 2010.

There has been an encouraging increase of the number of women in elective positions. The last General Election has produced the first female Governors (3) out of 47, 23 female Members of Parliament Elected out of 210, five female Senators out of 47 and 47 Woman Reps which is unprecedented.
