Existing Constituencies of Kenya by Province and District

note: districts are as of the beginning of 2006

Kenya has had a single-winner voting system, meaning each constituency elects only one MP. Constituencies are further divided into wards, used to select Councillors for local authorities of Kenya.

Both parliamentary and civic representatives were elected during general elections taking place every five years. The last general elections were held in 2007 and caused a huge riot.
