The elections saw the first ever women governors and senators emerge victorious from positions that were previously held by men only in 2013. This paper attempts to understand the grammar of patriarchy that stands in the way of women participation and engagement with elections. Drawing examples from recent events, the research argues that cultural traditions and the attendant stereotypes as well as the media perpetuate the patriarchal discourse that will have an overall effect on participation of women in politics. Las elecciones generales de Kenia de 2017 registraron una notable mejoría en el número de mujeres elegidas con respecto a las elecciones de 2013. Las elecciones vieron a las primeras gobernadoras y senadoras salir victoriosas solo en 2013. Este documento intenta comprender la gramática del patriarcado que se interpone en el camino de la participación y el compromiso de las mujeres con las elecciones. Tomando ejemplos de eventos recientes, la investigación argumenta que las tradiciones culturales y los estereotipos acompañantes, así como los medios de comunicación, perpetúan el discurso patriarcal que tendrá un efecto general en la participación de las mujeres en la política. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Humania del Sur: Revista de Estudios Latinoamericanos, Africanos y Asiáticos is the property of Humania del Sur.
