    What is this Platform? 🔎

    My candidate is an open source platform that facilitates ease of access to information on who exactly is running for public office in Kenya’s 2022 General Election.

    Relying on an exhaustive list provided by the IEBC, citizens are able to find out who is running for office in their constituency by keying in their location of interest. A complete list of public office aspirants for that location, including President, Deputy President, Member of Parliament, Senator, County Governor, Member of County Assembly and Women Rep, is generated for your consumption.

    You can then tap on a particular candidate to gain access to publicly available information on them via a Google Search.

    How to use My candidate 🛠

    Once on the home page, simply type up a location of your interest into the search bar, and the results corresponding to that location will be generated.

    Areas with the same name? Try using a different landmark 🛠

    There are instances where two or more locations on the map have the same name. This may cause one to get divergent results from that of their actual location. One such example is Mugumoini, which is both a part of Langata constituency in Nairobi and also Muranga constituency. If you happen to be in such a location, include a specific landmark in your search in order to get more accurate results.
