In Kenya's 2022 elections, only 20 of the 335 elected young people aged 18–35 were young women. Yet Badili Africa's From Margins to Power baseline study reveals that leadership already exists at the grassroots: 54% of Chama groups identify their networks as the most powerful information-sharing spaces in their communities, while 68% report that no member has ever contested for an elective seat.
Our Chama women leaders and mobilisers are ready to change that narrative. From challenging tribal divisions and building solidarity across political parties to demanding more women in leadership and safer political spaces, they are recognising the power they already hold and exploring how to turn it into collective influence. The leadership exists. It's time it translated into political power.

Can we still recognize violence when it is packaged as humor, dismissed as banter, or normalized in our everyday interactions?
Through a TikTok LIVE hosted on comedian Padi Wubonn’s platform, we set out to have this conversation differently. Padi Wubonn, a comedian, helped curate a light-hearted yet meaningful session that created space for both men and women to speak freely, share perspectives, and challenge what we have come to accept as normal.
One message resonated throughout the conversation: We need to return to our humanity. To a place where human life and dignity are valued, where we question the values we represent and where violence, in whatever form, is never excused or trivialized.
Sometimes, the first step toward change is being willing to have uncomfortable conversations.
With over 8,000 eyeballs, 60K+ likes, 600+ comments and 100+ shares, we're grateful to everyone who tuned in, participated and helped make this conversation count.
A special thank you to Padi Wubonn for using his platform to make space for this important conversation.

**Will the Woman Representative seat be abolished after the 2027 elections?**
The question has been making the rounds, and Daily Nation has been unpacking the facts behind the claims. But that's just one of the many conversations shaping women's political participation as Kenya heads towards 2027.
From Julie Nyanchama's experience as she seeks the Kisii governorship, to the gendered attacks and threats women aspirants are navigating, the political environment is already taking shape. Elsewhere, Agnes Kagure is positioning herself for the Nyeri governor's race, while the emerging Linda Mwananchi movement has unveiled women among its proposed leadership team.
