Infotrak noted that senators perform roles that are often less visible to the public, including representing county interests, protecting devolution, legislating and providing oversight on matters affecting counties. Much of this work takes place in Parliament, committee sessions, national debates and institutional oversight.
The survey was conducted between January and May 2026, covering all 47 counties, 290 constituencies and 1,450 wards.
A total of 87,286 respondents participated in the nationwide survey.
