Background of the Study
Political party decision-making processes are crucial for shaping the direction and priorities of political movements, and in many cases, these processes reflect the degree of inclusivity within political structures (Ibrahim & Akintoye, 2023). In Azare Local Government Area of Bauchi State, women’s participation in political party decision-making has been limited due to a variety of cultural, social, and institutional barriers (Aminu & Yusuf, 2024). Despite the increase in the number of women engaging in politics, their representation in key decision-making roles within political parties remains insufficient (Salihu & Olayemi, 2025). The involvement of women in these processes is essential not only for achieving gender equity but also for ensuring that the concerns of women are addressed in party platforms and political agendas. This study investigates the extent of female participation in political party decision-making in Azare, assessing the barriers women face and the potential benefits of increasing their involvement in these processes.
1.2 Statement of the Problem
Women in Azare Local Government Area have faced numerous challenges in participating fully in political party decision-making processes, including discriminatory cultural practices and limited access to leadership roles within political parties (Danladi & Binta, 2023). Despite efforts to promote gender inclusivity in politics, women remain underrepresented in party leadership positions and decision-making bodies, which impedes the development of policies that reflect the interests of women (Usman & Bello, 2024). This study aims to investigate the factors contributing to the low participation of women in political party decision-making in Azare and to evaluate the potential solutions to these barriers.
