During the event, hosted by Machakos Governor Wavinya Ndeti, the Machakos County Government showcased various ongoing projects. The female governors also observed Ndeti’s extensive empowerment program for marginalized communities and praised her strong working relationship with Deputy Governor Francis Mwangangi.

The G7 Strategy seeks to rally support from Kenyans for the re-election of current female governors and for deputy governors planning to run for governorship in 2027. Waiguru emphasized the collective vision to see 24 female governors elected in the upcoming elections, along with an increase in women holding parliamentary positions.

The strategy involves engaging women at the grassroots level, focusing on leadership and empowerment, and tailoring approaches to local contexts. Waiguru highlighted the importance of these efforts, noting that women at all levels play a crucial role in the country’s decision-making processes.

Other prominent leaders, including Embu Governor Cecily Mbarire, Kwale Governor Fatuma Achani, Homa Bay Governor Gladys Wanga, and Nakuru Governor Susan Kihika attended the event.
