Before now, three female governors were elected in 2017 and analysts believe there would be a push for the implementation of the two-thirds gender rule in the nation.
The seven newly-sworn in female governors in Kenya are:
1. Fatuma Achani – Kwale County
2. Susan Kihika- Nakuru County
3. Cecily Mbarire- Embu County
4. Kawira Mwangaza – Meru County
5. Wavinya Ndeti- Machakos County
6. Anne Waiguru – Kirinyaga County
7. Gladys Wanga- Homa Bay County.
A warm congratulations to the seven elected Governors on your victory and my best wishes for your success as you prepare to take up the responsibilities and challenges of your high offices.
