As declared by the independent electoral commission and gazetted, here is a updated list of all the duly elected governors in the 2022 Kenyan general election. The governors represent 47 devolved units in Kenya as per the 2010 Kenyan Constitution.
The Governors in Kenya are the CEOs of counties which form the second tier of government. A governor is elected by a simple majority of registered voters for a term of five years and can only serve for two terms.
Majority of the governors are new faces owing to the fact that most outgoing occupants could not contest due to the term limits. However some beat all the odds to defeat the incumbents.
