Why Kenya needs this
Heading to the 2027 General Election and beyond, a digital democracy platform lets young Kenyans in every county see who is asking for their vote, hold them to their promises and be heard — including citizens who are deaf or hard of hearing.
Inclusive by design — Ajiri is built for every Kenyan, including people who are deaf or hard of hearing, with captions and sign-language content.
What you can do
Browse candidates by position, party, county, constituency or ward. Every profile brings together biography, education, manifesto, policy positions and verification status in one place.
Select candidates competing for the same seat and compare their positions on healthcare, education, youth, housing and more — without being told who to vote for.
Flag what's affecting your community — water, healthcare, roads, security, employment and more — and see how it rolls up into national, county, constituency and ward-level intelligence.
Clear, official-vs-platform-labelled guides on registration, ballots, polling day procedures, electoral offences and your rights — in English and Kiswahili.
Our 2017 story
Ajiri Kiongozi began in 2017, when our founder George Waweru built Telegram polling bots for that year's general election. This is what the first run achieved, and how the press covered it.
Users were identified by their Telegram usernames, never by phone number.
Built on trust
Ajiri Kiongozi never campaigns for or against any candidate or party.
Every piece of information is traceable to a clearly labelled source.
Screen readers, sign-language content, adjustable text and low-bandwidth support.

WhatsApp chatbot
No download, no sign-up screens. Say "Hi" to the Ajiri chatbot and tap your way through candidates, manifestos and voting steps, all inside the same chat.
Free-form and interactive replies are allowed within 24 hours of the user's last message; after that, only approved template messages.
Waiting for the first message…
Built on the WhatsApp Business Cloud API: reply buttons (max 3 per message) and list menus (max 10 rows) come back to the bot as webhook events that carry the id of what the user tapped.
Telegram chatbot
Watch the Ajiri Telegram bot in action: pick your county, constituency and ward, browse the 2027 candidates, open their manifestos and post the issues in your community.
Real-time insight
Ajiri turns citizen reports and manifesto engagement into live dashboards, so campaigns can respond to what voters actually care about — while it still matters.
Questions
Ajiri Kiongozi is a civic technology platform that helps Kenyan citizens discover candidates, understand their manifestos, evaluate leadership choices, report community issues and access voter education ahead of the 2027 General Election.
No. Ajiri Kiongozi is strictly nonpartisan. We never campaign for or against any candidate or party — our role is to present structured, sourced information so you can decide for yourself.
Select your county, constituency and ward, choose an issue category (water, healthcare, roads, security, and more), set a severity level and add a short description. Reports are aggregated to protect your identity.
Yes. We collect only what's necessary, encrypt sensitive data, aggregate evaluations and issue reports, and never publish personal voter information. Ajiri Kiongozi Limited is registered with Kenya's Data Protection Commissioner as a Data Controller and a Data Processor — see the certificates.
Ajiri Kiongozi currently supports English and Kiswahili, with the platform architecture designed to add more languages over time.
Candidates can claim and enrich their profile with manifestos and responses, but they cannot manipulate independent citizen evaluations or comparisons.
Free, nonpartisan and built for every Kenyan voter — on web, mobile, WhatsApp and Telegram.
