For the first time in Kenya's history, seven women will be at the helm of county governance.
Between 2013 and 2017, when devolution was first implemented after the promulgation of the progressive 2010 Constitution, no woman was among the 47 elected governors.
However, in the 2017 polls, three women defied the odds to become the first female cohort at the Council of Governors. These are Charity Ngilu of Kitui, Anne Waiguru of Kirinyaga and the late Bomet governor Dr Joyce Laboso.
