The media has been called upon to give regular coverage to female aspirants.
According to National Assembly Deputy Speaker Joyce Laboso, women leaders were not getting fair media attention like their male counterparts.
Ms Laboso was addressing Nation Media Group journalists at a Nairobi hotel.
"Help us to be visible so that we can raise our issues, be supported and be heard. Support women this election time so that we are able to clinch gubernatorial and senatorial seats," she said.
She said all genders should be treated equally by media houses.
"Women leaders are speaking out good and sensible things but they are not being covered hence they can't be heard, let the media offer enough coverage to women leaders," she said.
