    "content": "In the 2013 Elections, the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) has been able to show that 15,000 men contested in the elections. About 1,000 of them were elected both at the national level and at the county level. The percentage for the election of men was about 15 per cent. A man contesting in an election in our country has a 15 per cent chance of being elected. The IEBC in the same report has been able to show that about 1,000 women contested in the elections of 2013 and 14 per cent of the women who contested were elected. In analysing those statistics, the IEBC has been able to show that if we have more women contesting in the elections, there is a chance that more women would be elected. If that were to happen, it would tie in with the Bill we are discussing today that if women are elected, there will be no reason for top up. The top up will only arise where women are not elected.
