Record Number of Women Elected to Parliament
Women now hold 47% of seats in the legislature following a landmark election result, the highest proportion in the country's history.
The final results of last month's parliamentary election have confirmed that women now hold 47% of seats in the national legislature, the highest proportion since the country's founding and a result that surpasses the targets set by electoral gender quota legislation introduced six years ago.
Political analysts attributed the outcome to a combination of the quota framework, a generational shift in voter preferences, and successful candidate recruitment efforts by parties across the political spectrum.
Several newly elected members have indicated plans to prioritise legislative work on childcare policy, equal pay enforcement, and judicial reform as their first-term priorities.
