Westlands Constituency
Westlands Constituency is one of the 17 Constituencies in Nairobi County, Kenya. The constituency is situated three kilometres (3km) North West of Nairobi Central Business District (CBD). The Constituency covers an area of 72.4 km2. Westlands is a unique constituency because it has in it some of the most affluent localities in Nairobi as well as some of the poorest (slum) areas in Nairobi County.
Some of the affluent localities include Runda, Muthaiga, Parklands, Highridge, Kitisuru, Spring Valley, Thigiri, Kyuna and Loresho. The affluent areas boast of posh estates that accommodate the rich and powerful in Nairobi. On the other hand, there are less affluent or slum areas like Kangemi, Gichagi, NITD, Ndumbuini, Dam Village, Deep Sea, Githogoro, City Park, Kaptagat and Kibagare slums. The slum areas are the most disadvantaged and challenged due to the number of poverty-stricken people, living in dilapidated living conditions.
