Martha Wangari is the Gilgil MP serving her first term in office.
She was elected in the 2017 general election on a Jubilee Party ticket.
Wangari joined active politics in 2007 when she founded the ‘Warembo na Kibaki Tena’.
The group campaigned for former president's re-election across the country in the 2007 general election.
In 2013, Wangari was nominated as a senator by the United Democratic Forum (UDF) party.
As nominated Senator, she was vocal on women and youth affairs.
The MP is a close ally of Deputy President William Ruto. She once allegedly forced herself into a chopper ferrying DP Ruto to a rally in Nakuru.
The legislator allegedly took a seat that had been meant for Bahati MP Kimani Ngunjiri causing drama.
Not new to controversy, she in 2018 announced parting ways with her husband accusing him of being abusive.
The University of Nairobi (UoN) graduate is now among top female politicians to watch out in 2022.
Political pundits argue that Wangari and other youthful female politicians will play a crucial role in the 2022 presidential succession politics.
