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.

Sorted by total, highest first. 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. Tenures with under 12 months, or under three observations, are left out. % of population · World Bank, Global Electrification Database (EG.ELC.ACCS.ZS): household surveys, estimated by the World Bank for the years between them · Democratic Republic of the Congo data · as of Oct 2026.
