The constituency was known as Nairobi Northeast Constituency at the 1963 elections and as Mathare Constituency from 1966 elections to 1994 by-elections. Up until the 2007 elections it has been known as Kasarani Constituency.
Prior to the 2013 general election, Kasarani was divided into four constituencies: Kasarani, Roysambu Constituency, Ruaraka Constituency, and part of Embakasi North Constituency. Regions such as Kamulu, Njiru and Ruai, were hived off from the now defunct Embakasi Constituency and combined to the remaining part of Kasarani Constituency.
