This comes a time when political elites led by politicians and strategists are having a hard time understanding political parties' popularity and ideologies as voters quest for civic education and awareness of the same in Kenya. This is due to the recent formation of more influential political parties especially in the Mt Kenya Region like UDA, PEP, CRP, Jubilee, TSP among others a political dilemma of a region dominated by a single party and voted as a bloc throughout history.

Julian Chege, the only woman aspirant in the Kangema parliamentary race will be joining the rest of the women aspirants in Muranga County where three women were elected as MPs in the National Assembly in 2017 and Kenya women aspirant at large. This is the third feminism wave that is live and political in nature to meet two-third gender rule as outlined in Kenyan Constitution 2010 Article 27(8). This wave is trying to overturn a scenario where women outnumber men on the ballot yet women are outnumbered by men in political leadership. Women over history have won first and second feminist waves.
