The Garissa County women representative seat has already attracted the highest number of contestants in the whole region.
The big names have expressed interest to unseat the currently serving, Shukran Gure are not only at a national level but also at the international level.
Over the last few weeks, it was raining sanitary pads for school going girls in various schools as it seems that the role of a women representative is to distribute pads.
Aspirants are compiling their political profiles and manifestos before submitting them to the electorate of Garissa County with numerous Facebook pseudo accounts singing in praise of some aspirants while demonizing others at equal measure.
The Ogaden elders who are traditionally chauvinists promise not to interfere with the women competing for the seat and it’s up to the electorate to decide who their next women rep will be.
Among the beauty queens who have shown interest include Amina Keynan, Fatuma Kinsi, Shamu na vijana, Ebla Europe, Maryan Sheikh and Shukran Gure.
