Njeri Maina (born 1993) is the Woman Representative for Kirinyaga County, elected in 2022, and one of the youngest legislators in Kenya’s 13th Parliament. A lawyer by training, she quickly emerged as a confident and articulate voice in national politics, representing a generational shift toward younger, professionally trained leaders in elective office. Her election reflected strong youth support and growing demand for principled advocacy on social justice and representation. In Parliament, Njeri Maina has built a profile as a bold debater and rights-based legislator, particularly on issues affecting women, young people, and vulnerable groups. She gained nationwide attention and public sympathy after being physically assaulted during a political gathering in Kirinyaga County—an incident that reignited national debate on political violence and the safety of women in leadership. Since then, she has positioned herself as a vocal advocate for dignity, accountability, and political tolerance.
