In Kericho, Laikipia, and Narok counties, not a single woman won a member of the county assembly ticket in the Jubilee Party (JP) primaries. Jane Ngugi who represented Gilgil ward in the inaugural assembly, clinched the ticket while Rose Chepkoech floored six men to win the party ticket for Kiptagich ward. In Baringo, two women clinched the Jubilee Party ticket to contest for the MCA seat. Jennifer Kabon won the party ticket to vie for the Kapropita ward while Bernice Chepkemoi Lorangi won nomination for the Loyamorok ward seat in Tiyati constituency. Gender experts said it would be challenging for counties to implement the gender rules, especially in House committees.
