Should they win the seats on August 8, the county would be among the first to achieve the one-third gender rule. Currently, ODM which has the highest number of MPs in the National Assembly, has only one elected woman MP - Suba North MP Millie Odhiambo. Two other women - Dr Lilian Gogo (Rangwe) and Dr Eve Obara (Kabondo Kasipul) are also expected to make their debut in the House. Woman activist Monica Amolo also tried her luck in Ndhiwa but lost to Joshua Orwa Ojode.
