## History[edit]

The constituency was known as Nairobi Northeast Constituency at the 1963 and 1969 elections and as Mathare Constituency from 1974 elections to 1994 by-elections. Up until the 2007 elections it has been known as Kasarani Constituency. Prior to the 2013 general election, Kasarani was divided into four constituencies: Kasarani, Roysambu Constituency, Ruaraka Constituency, and part of Embakasi North Constituency.[1][2] Regions such as Kamulu, Njiru and Ruai, were hived off from the now defunct Embakasi Constituency and combined to the remaining part of Kasarani Constituency.
