Five women have been elected into the Kwara State House of Assembly and will partake in the 10th legislative session of the Assembly which will be inaugurated in June this year.

The PUNCH reports that 24 elected Assembly members who served in the 9th legislative Assembly between 2019 and 2023 were all male.

A former Commissioner for Women Affairs in the state, Hajia Mopelola Abdulmalik-Bashir, had earlier said in a recent interview with The PUNCH that “It will interest you that the current Chairman of the Committee for women affairs in the state House of Assembly is a man. I asked him the other time whether he had gone through the pains of child-bearing, monthly call, lactation and breastfeeding.”

Meanwhile, the All  Progressives Congress has won 23 out of the available 24 seats in the Kwara State House of Assembly while the Peoples Democratic Party secured one  seat.
