The previously male-dominated governorship position is set for a major shake-up as over 16 women roll up sleeves to contest for a chance to head some of the 47 devolved units.
Since the inception of the devolved units in 2013, only a handful of women vied for what is regarded as the second powerful political position after the presidency.
The 16 women politicians will be vying for governorship across 12 counties in the country.
The only women who have managed to trounce their male counterparts for the governor seat are the late Joyce Laboso of Bomet county, Charity Ngilu of Kitui, and Ann Waiguru of Kiranyaga county.
The most recent one is Governor Ann Kananu of Nairobi County, who was sworn in after the impeachment of Mike Sonko.

In Nairobi County, apart from the current governor Ann Kananu, other women contestants of the position include, businesswoman Agnes Kagure and Bishop Margaret Wanjiru.
Kagure who launched her campaign for the position recently will be running on a Jubilee ticket while Wanjiru will contest on a UDA ticket.
“My pledge is to turn Nairobi from a county of lamentations to that of opportunities, jubilation, and a county of choice,” Kagure said during the launch of her campaign at Kasarani.
In Nairobi County, women aspirants will faceoff with their male counterparts such as Timothy Wanyonyi, George Aladwa, Johnson Sakaja, and businessman Richard Ngatia who have since expressed interest in the seat.

Kirinyaga women representative Purity Ngirici and former Justice Minister Martha Karua will be on the ballot to dethrone governor Ann Waiguru who is serving her first term.
Martha Karua will be trying her lack for the second time having been trounced by Waiguru in the 2017 General Election.
Martha Karua who vied for the presidency in the 2013 election has been rumored to be among those being considered for the running mate position.

Nakuru county Senator Susan Kihika will be trying her luck to dethrone the current governor, Lee Kinyanjui.

Gladys Wanga has been preparing for a bruising battle for the coveted ODM ticket, which if she manages to win the nomination, then the gubernatorial seat will be hers.

In Kwale County, Deputy Governor Fatuma Achani has gotten the blessing of her boss governor Salim Mvurya to vie for the seat.
