The office

What a Senator is elected to do.

A Senator represents one county in the Senate. The job is to protect county interests in national law and money - not to run the county government. That executive work belongs to the Governor.

Senate of Kenya

How a Senator campaign is organised.

Senate campaigns sit at county scale. The candidate needs a field structure that matches IEBC units, not informal zones.

Civicore lets a senatorial team assign coordinators by constituency, mobilise volunteers by ward, and keep communications scoped so a Westlands message does not land in a different county.

Civicore is not affiliated with the Senate or any political party. It is infrastructure for campaigns that choose to run on it.

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.
