History


Before the new constitution of Kenya that came into force in 2013, Kenya was divided into eight provinces (see map). The provinces were subdivided into 46 districts (excluding Nairobi) which were further subdivided into 262 divisions. The divisions were subdivided into 2,427 locations and then 6,612 sublocations.[1] A province was administered by a Provincial Commissioner (PC).


Kenyan local authorities mostly do not follow common boundaries with divisions. They are classified as City, Municipality, Town or County councils.


A third discrete type of classification are electoral constituencies. They are electoral areas without administrative functions, and are further subdivided into wards.
