In the August 2022 General Election, seven women were elected as governors and officially sworn in as leaders of their respective counties. These women are:
- Susan Kihika of Nakuru
- Fatuma Achani of Kwale
- Kawira Mwangaza of Meru
- Cecily Mbarire of Embu
- Wavinya Ndeti of Machakos
- Gladys Wanga of Homa Bay
- Anne Waiguru of Kirinyaga
This is a significant increase from the previous election, in which only two women were elected as governors. The increase in the number of women governors is a sign of progress in terms of gender equality in Kenya.
