BBC NEWS | World | Africa | Women to rule Rwanda parliament
Rwanda will be the first country where women will outnumber men in parliament, preliminary election results show.
Women have taken 44 out of 80 seats so far and the number could rise if three seats reserved for the disabled and youth representatives go to females.
Rwanda, whose post-genocide constitution ensures a 30% quota for female MPs, already held the record for the most women in parliament.
Coo. I wonder if it’ll make any difference to how the country is run, and if so, what kind of difference?
