Marakwet East Constituency


Marakwet East is an electoral constituency in Kenya. It is one of four constituencies of Elgeyo-Marakwet County. Between 1992 and 2012, the constituency had eleven wards, all of which elected councillors for the defunct Marakwet County Council. However, after the promulgation of the new constitution, the constituency was subdivided into four wards: Embobut/Embolot, Endo, Kapyego, and Sambirir.
From 1963 to 1992, the constituency was known as Kerio North. The name was changed to Kerio East in 1992. In 1997, the constituency was renamed Marakwet East.
