Access to electricity during each president's tenure

Every president since 1991, ranked by how the access to electricity changed from their first day in office. Politare shows what happened during a tenure; it does not claim the office-holder caused it.

Every row is indexed to the last count complete before the first day in office ("from" marks a start that had to move because that count had no data, or because the period cut it); Levels are per cent changes, rates are differences in pp; "per year" compounds levels and divides rates.
