Politare

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 (EG.ELC.ACCS.ZS), from household surveys and censuses, the years between them modelled by the World Bank, from 2000 · Kenya data · as of Sep 2026.
