The woman representative race in different counties saw new entrants take over the slot while others managed to retain their seats. The August 9 polls saw the youngest woman representative voted in office; Linet Chepkorir Toto enters office aged just 24.

A unique case in Migori where Fatuma Mohammed was denied the Orange Democratic (ODM) Movement party ticket beat all odds to clinch the seat on an independent ticket.

Fatuma who said she sold her house beat her closest rival Ghati Denittah of ODM by 154,538 votes to 117,591 votes and will be taking over from incumbent Pamela Awour Ochieng.

Caroline Ngelechei beat the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) wave in Elgeyo Marakwet to win the seat in the county.
