Who represents Kenya, region by region
Kuramap joins Kenya's counties, constituencies and wards to the people elected to represent them. Start from the map, search for a place, or browse straight down to your ward - it's free, needs no account, and every region has a page of its own.
The short version
What Kuramap is
Kenya is governed through a hierarchy most of us only half know: 47 counties, each split into constituencies, each split again into wards. Different elected offices attach at different levels - a governor and a senator to a county, an MP to a constituency, an MCA to a ward - so the simple question "who represents me?" has several answers at once, and finding them usually means three different websites and a PDF.
Kuramap puts that hierarchy on one map and gives every region in it a permanent page: what it is, where it sits, which regions it contains, and who currently holds each seat. The boundaries are the official 2022 general-election ones, and the representative records are entered and checked by hand rather than scraped, so what you read is what a person put there on purpose.
It is a reference, not a news site and not a campaign: no accounts, no comments, no ratings, no ads. Every page is static HTML that loads on a slow connection, and everything on it is available through a documented public API if you'd rather have the data than the page.
Coverage
What's in it right now
Data as of 18 July 2026. Figures refresh when the site is rebuilt.
Coverage is honest, not complete: of 1,881 elected seats, 423 currently have a named representative on record and 1,458 are gaps we're still closing - see coverage by role for the breakdown, or how this data is built for why those gaps exist.
Four ways in
How to use it
There's no wrong door - the map, the search box and the region pages all reach the same records, so pick whichever matches what you already know: a place on a map, a name, or an address.
- Interactive map Pan and zoom Kenya's boundaries, click a region to drill down, or drop a pin to find out which ward you're standing in.
- Search Find a county, constituency, ward or representative by name - typo-tolerant, no account needed.
- Browse regions All Kenya counties, each one linking down to its constituencies and wards.
- Representatives Every governor, senator, woman representative, MP and MCA we hold on record, with the seat they hold and where it sits.
Open API
Build on it
Everything the site renders is available as JSON from a documented, versioned REST API: regions at every level, the representatives attached to them, full-text search, and a point-in-polygon lookup that turns a pair of coordinates into the county, constituency and ward containing it. If you have ever needed to ask "which ward is this address in?" in code, that is one request.
Keys are free and self-service - sign in to the developer dashboard, create one, and you're making requests in a minute. The docs cover getting started, rate limits and versioning, with a full generated reference beside them. It's the same data on the same schedule as these pages, so a number you read here is a number you can query.
Provenance
Where the data comes from
Boundaries come from open datasets for the 2022 general-election cycle, and seat and representative records come from official IEBC publications, entered and checked by hand rather than scraped. The data page lists every source and its licence, explains how regions are matched to the official register, and names the gaps we know about - including the seats we haven't filled yet.
FAQ
Questions
What is Kuramap?
A free, public map of Kenya's administrative regions - counties, constituencies and wards - joined to the people elected to represent each one. Every region has its own page, and every page is plain HTML you can read, link to or archive.
Where does the data come from?
Boundaries come from the geoBoundaries/COD-AB open datasets for the 2022 cycle; the seat register and representative records come from IEBC publications, entered and checked by hand. Every source, its licence and the known gaps are listed on the data page.
How current is it?
Boundaries track the 2022 general-election cycle. Representative records are curated by hand and published when the site is rebuilt, so a very recent by-election or appointment may not have landed yet. The coverage figures above are fetched from the API at build time, never typed in - if we don't have a number, we show no number.
Is the coverage complete?
No, and we publish exactly where it isn't. Some seats have no named representative on record yet, and a handful of regions are still being reconciled against the official 2022 register. We would rather show a gap than a guess.
Can I use the data in my own project?
Yes. There is a documented, versioned REST API with a free key, and the region pages are stable URLs you can link to. The data page states the licence and the attribution to use.
Can I correct something that's wrong?
Please do. Kuramap is admin-curated - there is no public editing - so corrections go through the contact address on the data page, and we would rather hear about an error than not.
