    How this is counted

    • Chagua’s news reader collects stories from Kenyan outlets and tags each one with the candidates and parties it names. Each story counts once per name.
    • Counts say nothing about tone, accuracy or prominence, and more coverage is not better or worse. Chagua does not rate outlets or people.
    • Tagging is automatic. It can miss nicknames and spelling variations, and only names Chagua tracks are counted. Outlets that publish more stories will show larger numbers.
    • Updated every night. Last update: 2 Oct 2026, 1:40 am.
