Chagua is a free, neutral guide to Kenya’s 2027 General Election. This page says who runs it, how it is paid for, and the rules it follows, so you can judge it for yourself.
Who runs Chagua
Chagua is run by Clickjenga Ltd, a Kenyan company. Chagua is not linked to any political party, candidate, government body or campaign.
How Chagua is paid for
No funder, advertiser or partner can change what Chagua publishes about any candidate or party.
Our rules
- Candidates and parties are always listed A to Z. Paying never changes the order or makes anyone look more important.
- Every candidate gets the same questions and the same space to answer. Answers are shown as the candidate wrote them.
- Every fact on a profile shows where it came from. If something is wrong, report a correction.
- Chagua does not rate claims. Fact-check labels on news stories come from independent fact-checkers and link to their work.
- Races on Chagua are informal: they show what Chagua users think, not how Kenya will vote. Race results are hidden during the legal quiet period before polling day.
- Official dates and results come from the IEBC. On results, Chagua links to the IEBC’s own site and does not publish its own tallies.
What we sell, and what we never sell
Candidates and organisers can pay for extra content on their own profile or event, such as more photos or video. These extras are the same price for everyone and never change position in any list.
We never sell or share anything about visitors or voters: not your sign-in, not your phone number, not how you voted in a race. Read the privacy policy.
Open data
The list of everyone on Chagua (name, seat, party, stage and profile link) is free to download and updated daily. Newsrooms, researchers and civic groups can use it with the credit “Data: Chagua”. Media can also embed our widgets.
Data protection
Clickjenga Ltd’s registration with the Office of the Data Protection Commissioner is in progress. [UPDATE with the registration number once issued.]
