Caroline Jeptoo Ng'elechei is the Woman Representative for Elgeyo Marakwet County, elected in 2022. She achieved a stunning victory as an Independent candidate, defeating the UDA nominee in a region considered a UDA stronghold. Her campaign, dubbed "Mama Kazi," resonated with the grassroots for her focus on tangible results rather than party slogans. She is a vocal advocate for peace in the Kerio Valley, often visiting victims of banditry attacks. She uses the NGAAF fund to support widows who have lost husbands to cattle rustling conflicts. In Parliament, she maintains an independent stance, voting based on conscience rather than coalition whips.
