The General Election saw the highest number of women elected to various seats in Nakuru County, sending home political heavyweights.
All the top county seats are occupied by women, who were elected on a United Democratic Alliance ticket. Former Nakuru Senator Susan Kihika is the new sheriff in the city having floored Lee Kinyanjui.
Kinyanjui of the Jubilee Party lost his re-election bid, getting 225,623 votes against Kihika's 440,707 votes. He claimed that the polls were marred by irregularities. Ms Kihika assumed office officially on Thursday as the third governor after he was sworn in during a colorful ceremony. She is the first woman governor in Nakuru County.
