KAKAMEGA – A new face is emerging in the political landscape of Kakamega County. Margaret Ndege, popularly known as Maggy, is already being spoken of as the incoming Woman Representative for 2027. Her story is one of resilience, ambition, and deep-rooted commitment to her people.
Born and raised in Etenje Ward, Mumias West, Margaret’s journey reflects the aspirations of many young women in Kenya. She began her early education at Lukongo Primary School before joining Bukaya Secondary School, where she excelled academically.
In 2011, she broke barriers by becoming the first female top student in South Wanga, an achievement that inspired many girls in her community to pursue education with determination.
Her academic journey led her to Kenyatta University, where she pursued a Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry. But Margaret is not only defined by academics—her career spans across multiple fields. She has worked as a scientist, PR and marketing consultant, and has also embraced her passion as a professional baker and cook.
Family and Values at the Core
Married to a Kakamega native from Wangaland, Margaret is a proud mother of three children. Her family life is grounded in values that mirror the community she hopes to serve. Those close to her describe her as compassionate, determined, and deeply spiritual.
Maggy is more than just a professional. She is a philanthropist, motivational speaker, and entrepreneur, managing several businesses while uplifting communities. Her leadership style has been refined through daily engagements and through training with the Young African Leaders Initiative (YALI).
Unlike many who rise through the ranks of civil service, Margaret Ndege’s entry into politics comes directly from the people. She has never been a civil servant, positioning herself as a fresh, untainted voice in governance. Supporters say this makes her uniquely qualified to represent the aspirations of women, youth, and families in Kakamega.
Above all, Maggy is a God-fearing woman who places integrity and service at the heart of her journey. “I love God, I love Kakamega, and I am ready to serve with all my strength,” she has often said during community engagements.
The Road to 2027
As the 2027 elections approach, Margaret Ndege’s name continues to gather momentum in Kakamega politics. Supporters describe her as a leader by birth, polished by experience, and driven by purpose. Many believe she is the perfect embodiment of a modern Woman Representative who will bring both meaning and glory to the office.
With her combination of academic excellence, professional versatility, family values, and community service, Margaret Ndege is already shaping up to be one of the most watched candidates in the upcoming elections.
She is Margaret Ndege. She is Maggy. And she may just be the Woman Rep Kakamega has been waiting for in 2027.
