Ward · Elected office

Member of County Assembly campaigns on Civicore.

MCAs are elected in 1,450 wards. Civicore is built so a ward campaign is not an afterthought - it is a first-class unit on the Kenyan electoral map.

The office

A Member of County Assembly represents one ward. This is the closest elected office to most Kenyans: county law, county money, and oversight of the Governor's team.

How an MCA campaign is organised.

Most Kenyan campaigns still treat MCA races as informal. Civicore names the ward, places it inside its constituency and county, and gives the aspirant a public profile and a small team workspace.

Party admins can see every MCA they sponsor. Volunteers can be assigned to a single ward. Analytics stay at the geography that actually votes.

Find a ward by opening its county, then its constituency. Civicore does not create extra unofficial zones.

Civicore is independent civic-tech. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or a substitute for the IEBC, the ORPP, Parliament, County Assemblies, the PPDT, or the Judiciary. Geography on this site is IEBC-aware so campaigns can organise on official units.
