Martha Karua is climbing the political ladder in Kenya, a country that frequently sees violent attacks on female candidates.
Immediately after Odinga announced her as his running mate, Karua received attacks from her opponents that were both personal and gendered. She worked as a lawyer in the early 1990s, laying the ground for Kenya’s constitutional charter and fighting for multi-party democracy. Gender equality is also on the ballot in these elections and her candidacy has been seen as a strategy by the Azimio alliance to win over female voters and send a signal that their concerns matter.
For the first time in Kenya's history, a female candidate joins the centre stage in one of the main political coalitions in the country's 9 August elections ...
Studies show that, for example, the representation of women in African cabinets is important for the promotion of gender equality policies. Yet, the reformist agenda advancing gender equality will be no mean feat for Karua to deliver. This article first appeared in The Conversation. Karua’s opponents have sought to undermine her on the basis of her gender. He termed her unfit for the role of deputy president because she wasn’t married. There certainly is evidence that she has changed her political image and strategy from previous campaign bids. He insinuated that this indicated she was unreliable and would walk out of government should her coalition win. Karua, a lawyer and former minister of justice and constitutional affairs, is a veteran politician. Her candidacy is also interpreted as a strategy to win over female voters and signal that their concerns matter. In one example, presidential candidate William Ruto and his running mate, Rigathi Gachagua, discredited Karua during campaigns in Central Kenya, an important voting bloc. In May, veteran politician Martha Karua was announced as the deputy presidential candidate for the Azimio la Umoja alliance led by Raila Odinga. Women across the world face unique hurdles when running for office in institutions dominated by men.
