Bodies track women's district presence at 5.57%
The results of the 2026 parliamentary elections revealed an increase in the proportion of women winning local seats, rising from 1.97% in 2021 to 5.57%, with 17 women winning compared to 6 in the previous elections. Despite this progress, women still account for less than 8% of election list leaders, with women leading 7.49% of the lists versus 92.51% for men. Reports emphasize that the challenges to women's representation relate to the nomination phase and competition opportunities, urging political parties to enhance women's chances of leading lists and to improve their access to parliament.
