Background of the Study
Women’s leadership in local governance has the potential to bring transformative changes to the political landscape, particularly in the areas of policy formulation, community development, and social justice (Mohammed & Yakubu, 2025). In Bauchi Local Government Area, women’s participation in local governance has been historically limited, despite some strides made by female political leaders (Bala & Hassan, 2024). Female politicians in the region face unique challenges, including societal gender expectations, limited resources, and political marginalization (Ibrahim & Sadiya, 2023). However, when women occupy political leadership positions, they often prioritize issues such as education, healthcare, and women’s empowerment, which directly benefit their communities (Umar & Musa, 2024). This study will explore the impact of women’s political leadership on local governance in Bauchi Local Government Area, focusing on the effectiveness and contributions of female leaders to local development.
