IEBC urges donor organisations to support women's engagements in politics

Source: The Star Kenya

We are proud as a country since there has been growth in terms of women's participation in politics, IEBC CEO Marjan Hussein Marjan has said.

Marjan said despite the fact that several women emerged victorious and took over various elective positions across the country in the 2022 general elections, the trajectory was dismal hence the need to sensitise them on electoral processes with an intent of boosting the numbers in 2027 polls.

“Today, we are here because of the Forum for African Women Educationists’ initiative to train young women and political aspirants on how they can be able to participate in political space and become leaders,” Marjan said.

The Commission’s CEO spoke when he officially opened the FAWE’s engagement of young women leaders and aspirants with IEBC and ORPP three – days’ three-day workshop in Machakos County on Wednesday.

“We are here to ensure that women are trained to understand the electoral processes and challenges they face, opportunities available for them and how they can become better leaders in future,” Marjan said.
