Female politicians competed favorably for different electoral posts during the last general election. There were women who contested for different seats including governorship. These women defied all odds to garner thousands of votes in the male-dominated field. Here is an overview of female Kamba politicians who gave men sleepless nights in 2017
Charity Ngilu
Kitui county boss Charity Ngilu proved beyond doubt that she is a force to reckon with after beating former Governor Julius Malombe and Former Senator David Musila to win the seat. Despite contesting on Narc ticket, Ngilu won the race by a relatively huge margin.
Wavinya Ndeti
Former Kathiani MP Wavinya Ndeti gave Machakos County boss Alfred Mutua a run for his money when he was defending his post during the August General elections. Ndeti has, however, refused to accept defeat citing massive illegalities and irregularities in the gubernatorial race. She has maintained that the win of Mutua does not reflect the will of the people of Machakos and she wants the results annulled for another election.
Susan Musyoka
Although Musyoka lost in the contest to defend her seat, she was a threat to many male politicians who wanted to trample on women not only in Ukambani but also the entire nation.
Agnes Kavindu
Agnes Kavindu is the estranged wife of Former Senator Johnstone Muthama. She contested for the women rep seat and was very vocal in supporting Jubilee’s re-election.
