Background of the Study
Gender plays a significant role in political appointments, especially in regions like Bauchi Local Government Area, Bauchi State, where patriarchal values influence the selection of political leaders and appointees (Rashid & Mohammed, 2023). Despite legal frameworks promoting gender equality in political appointments, women in Bauchi continue to be underrepresented in key political positions, particularly in local government leadership roles (Salim & Danladi, 2024). Gender biases and cultural stereotypes often shape the decision-making processes regarding appointments, with women facing greater scrutiny and limited opportunities compared to their male counterparts (Abdullahi & Sule, 2025). This study aims to investigate the role of gender in political appointments in Bauchi, exploring how gender influences the selection process and the impact it has on women’s political representation.
