Despite global strides in promoting women\u2019s political inclusiveness, research consistently demonstrates that women often remain on the periphery of politics, with low participation in government structures and the democratic process, particularly developing countries. The study adopts liberal feminist theory. The study employs descriptive research design to examine gender inequality and women&#8217;s inclusiveness in politics during the 2024 local government elections in Adamawa State. Purposive sampling techniques was used. Data collected were analysed using chi-square facilitated by SPSS. The study discovered that there is high rate of women participation and inclusion in 2024 local government election in Adamawa State. The study recommends that state and local government should continue to expand and create awareness programmes that promote gender equality and women participation in politics.<\/p>\n<h2>Authors<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>SHARON EMMANUEL  NTASIRI (ADAMAWA STATE UNIVERSITY, MUBI)<\/li>\n<li>ROGERS ROLAND  WAZAKARI (BAYERO UNIVERSITY, KANO, KANO STATE-NIGERIA)<\/li>\n<li>TAKUR\u2019AMA NEVISON  ZIDON (ADAMAWA STATE UNIVERSITY, MUBI)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Keywords<\/h2>\n<p>Gender Inequality, Women Inclusiveness, Politics, Election<\/p>\n<h2>References<\/h2>\n<p>References not available for this article.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This article was originally published as: GENDER INEQUALITY AND WOMEN\u2019S INCLUSIVENESS IN POLITICS: AN ASSESSMENT OF THE 2024 LOCAL GOVERNMENT&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":21,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[124],"tags":[575,1388,934,3014],"class_list":["post-6173","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-articles","tag-election","tag-gender-inequality","tag-politics","tag-women-inclusiveness","wpcat-124-id"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.8 -
