A Woman Representative is elected by the whole county. In Kakamega that means 841,795 registered voters across 12 constituencies, 60 wards and 1,678 polling stations, the same ground as the Governor, usually with far less money. In 2022, 338,946 of those registered voters did not vote.
On a county-wide seat with a tight budget, being seen is the campaign: the baraza in Navakholo, the women's group in Mumias East, the market day in Lugari. This guide shows how UshindiOS plans that engagement and tells you every morning which constituencies have not seen you yet.

2. What a woman representative campaign has to run
UshindiOS builds a campaign plan from the seat's real numbers: one coordinator per area, a captain for every polling centre, agents for every polling stream, the vehicles and the tally centres. For Kakamega the plan comes to:
In the plan | For Kakamega |
|---|---|
Polling agents (main, relief and tally) | 2,543 |
Mobilisers | 1,687 |
Polling centre captains | 965 |
Coordinators (county, constituency, ward) | 73 |
Field team in total | 5,353 people |
Your Campaign Manager confirms the plan in a few steps and UshindiOS applies it: the team positions are created area by area, a budget is drafted from it for you to approve, and an activity calendar is laid out. You do not start from a blank page.
3. Your morning, in thirty seconds
Every morning the candidate opens one page: My Campaign. It answers four questions in order: where do I stand, can I win, what changed, and what should I do next?
Read the briefing opens the same picture in plain sentences: how many constituencies need action and which ones, what the field team did this week, and what is waiting for you.
4. Decisions only you can make
A candidate should not be chasing paperwork, and should not be surprised by it either. When your team asks to spend money or to send resources, the request comes to Needs your attention with the amount, who raised it, the area and how long it has waited. You approve or reject it there. Missions that have run past their end date and polling stations marked not ready appear in the same place.
The campaign budget works the same way: your Campaign Manager prepares it, and only you approve it or send it back with what should change. Messages written in your voice are approved by you before they go out.
5. Every constituency at a glance
One row per constituency, one colour per state. Red needs action, with the reason (no constituency coordinator, stations not ready, a mission overdue); amber needs watching; green is in place. You see in seconds where the campaign is organised and where it is not, without calling anyone.
6. Plan where you will be seen
A Woman Representative's brief leads with engagement:
Events coming up, and in how many of the 12 constituencies. A constituency with nothing planned shows up straight away.
The calendar. When you apply your campaign plan, UshindiOS drafts the activity calendar for you, from barazas and rallies to polling-agent training, area by area. Your team then adjusts it.
What people raise. The issues reported in field conversations, so each event speaks to what that constituency cares about.
Women candidates also pay a reduced licence. See Pricing.
