Local elections were held in Kenya on 4 March 2013 as part of the general elections.[1] Voters elected governors and members of County Assemblies of the 47 counties created by the 2010 constitution.
Electoral system
Kenyan law requires governors to have a recognised university degree. This clause resulted in challenges for aspirants including Soita Shitanda in Kakamenga and Margaret Wanjiru in Nairobi [2]
County Representative were elected in single member wards, of which there were a total of 1,450. Several County Representatives were also nominated to represent youths and disabled people in the various county assemblies from party lists, and after the elections a number of women were also nominated to the various county assemblies to ensure gender balance.[3]
