During the 2017 general election, history was made with the first three women to be elected as female governors in Kenya against a total of 44 male governors. This came in after the promulgation of the 2010 Constitution which saw Anne Waiguru-Kirinyaga County Governor, Charity Ngilu- Kitui County Governor and the late Joyce Laboso- Bomet County Governor break the glass ceiling and occupy office as female governors in their respective counties. Anne Waiguru served as the first female Vice Chair of the Council of Governors in Kenya between December 2017 and January 2019, and currently she is the chairperson of the Council of Governors in 2022. In September 2022 she was elected as the Council of Governors Chair a position that puts her as the first female Council of Governors Chair in the country.
