Description
According to the Constitution (Art. 1), citizens exercise their sovereignty through their elected representatives at the national and county level. At the national level, citizens vote to elect the President of the national executive, a member of the National Assembly representing their constituency (290 constituencies plus special members – 47 women elected and 12 youth/disability/workers reps nominated by political parties) and a member of the National Senate representing their county (47 Senators).
At the county level, the people vote to elect the Governor as head of the county executive and a member of the County Assembly representing their Ward (number of wards varies by county, so does the number of special seat members).
