As of 2020, some 31 percent of senators in Kenya were females. Out of 67 senators in the country, 21 were women, which was a little above the two-third gender rule stipulated by the national constitution. However, regarding members of Parliament, females occupied only roughly one-fifth of the total seats. While 76 women were members of the Kenyan Parliament, there were 270 men in the same legislative position.
