As 2022 politics continue to gain momentum in the country, more women have portrayed their commendable leadership qualities to Kenyans.
These ‘iron ladies’ will attract more attention in the upcoming general elections as Kenyans would like to know their fate after having served the nation in different capacities.
1. Aisha Jumwa
She is currently the member of parliament for Malindi. ODM party has threatened to expel her after she allegedly ditched the party to support deputy president William Ruto and Jubilee party.
Most people would like to know whether the vocal legislator will be able to retain her seat on a Jubilee party ticket.
2. Anne Waiguru
Speculation is rife that the Kirinyaga county governor will shift to national politics and that she is likely to deputise deputy president William Ruto in his 2022 presidential bid.
3. Martha Karua
The veteran politician lost to Anne Waiguru in 2017 during the much-hyped Kirinyaga gubernatorial race. It is not clear whether the former presidential aspirant will be back to politics in 2022 by making a comeback.
4. Peris Simam
She once served as a member of parliament for Eldoret South constituency which currently forms the larger part of Kesses constituency in Uasin Gishu county.
Her efforts to rebuild her political status in 2017 were unsuccessful as she lost during the Jubilee party preliminaries where she had contested for the position of women representative.
5. Dr Joyce Laboso
2022 Bomet gubernatorial race is most likely to be a repeat of what was witnessed in 2017. Chama Cha Mashinani (CCM) leader Isaac Ruto is said to be on a mission to get back into his former office.
He is no doubt a force to reckon with and will give Mrs Laboso a run for her money.
