Ms Nungari is now savouring the fruits of her determination, hard work, hope and resilience.
She is also the second elected woman leader in the entire Kiambu County after Anne Wanjiku Kibe won the Gatundu North parliamentary seat.
Ms Margaret Mwago, who was the Kiuu Ward MCA has lost the seat to Daniel Ngure
When Jackline Wanjiku Nungari was nominated to the Kiambu County Assembly by The National Alliance (TNA) in 2013, she pledged to use the position to empower herself politically. After all, the slots which were meant to help the assembly attain the two-third gender rule are supposed to catapult women to leadership positions.
Ms Nungari is now savouring the fruits of her determination, hard work, hope and resilience after she became the only woman to win a ward representative’s seat in the county which has 60 wards.
