Njue is one of dozens of female candidates who have been physically assaulted during campaigning for presidential, legislative and local elections on August 9, according to the Kenya Women Parliamentary Association. She reported her attack to the police but said there had been no arrests. Police spokesperson Bruno Isohi Shioso said Njau’s case remains open and active.

“It was just to intimidate me, to make me step down,” said Mugure, who continued campaigning but lost the nomination. No woman has served as Kenyan president or vice president, although one of the current presidential front-runners, Raila Odinga, has a female running mate.
