Lucy Gichuhi

Lucy Muringo Gichuhi (/ɡɪˈtʃuːi/; née Munyiri; born 23 September 1962) is an Australian politician who served as a Senator for South Australia from 2017 to 2019. She was born in Kenya and worked as an accountant before entering politics. Following a special recount ordered by the Court of Disputed Returns, in April 2017 she was declared to have been elected at the 2016 election for the Family First Party. This followed the court's decision that Bob Day had not been eligible to stand for election. Gichuhi originally sat in the Senate as an independent, after refusing to join the Family First Party in merging into the Australian Conservatives. She joined the Liberal Party in February 2018, but failed to win re-election at the 2019 federal election.
