Full List of All Wards in West Pokot County: Everything You Need to Know

Updated 26 October 2026

West Pokot County has 20 county assembly wards across 4 constituencies: Kapenguria (6 wards), Sigor (4 wards), Kacheliba (6 wards), Pokot South (4 wards). Each ward elects one Member of the County Assembly (MCA). This guide lists every ward with its official IEBC ward code and the number of registered voters it had for the 2022 General Election, then explains what wards do and how to find yours.

West Pokot sits in the North Rift, bordering Uganda to the west, Turkana to the north, Baringo and Elgeyo Marakwet to the east and Trans Nzoia to the south. It is one of Kenya’s less populous counties, so its wards are smaller by voter numbers than those in most southern counties, and some cover very large areas of dry rangeland.

Ward sizes differ because boundaries were drawn with population, geography and community interests in mind, not just voter numbers. Sparsely populated areas often have wards that cover a large area but hold fewer voters.

What a county assembly ward does

A ward is the smallest electoral unit in Kenya’s devolved system. Voters in each ward elect one MCA every five years at the General Election. The MCA represents the ward in the West Pokot County Assembly, where members pass county laws, approve the county budget and oversee the work of the Governor and the county executive. The assembly also has nominated members who fill the gender and special interest seats.

Wards also matter outside elections. Many county programmes are planned and shared out ward by ward, including ward development funds, bursaries for secondary and college students, and projects such as feeder roads, water points and health centres. If you apply for a county bursary, the form will usually ask for your ward, and a ward committee may vet the application. Each ward also has a county ward administrator who coordinates county services there.

How to find which ward you are in

1. Check your voter registration. If you are a registered voter, send your ID number by SMS to 70000 or use the voter verification service on the IEBC website. The reply shows your county, constituency, ward and polling centre.
2. Ask your chief or ward administrator. They can confirm boundaries, especially if you live near the line between two wards.
3. Use the tables above. If you know the area you live in, match it to the ward and constituency listed.

When you fill in a government or county form, use the ward spelling on the IEBC list, since that is what voter and candidate records use.
