I believe the wikipedia data is incorrect. The county codes are completely different from the official ISO source: https://www.iso.org/obp/ui/#iso:code:3166:KE

Please udpate this link to point to the iso.org resource instead of wikipedia.

We should drop the ke- prefix. It's not included in other countries where we use ISO 3166-2 codes

it looks like we still have a ke prefix on the county identifiers. I'd recommend dropping those so that the identifiers are just the numbers from the ISO 3166-2 codes.

I did a spot check for correctness:
- the county ISO codes match up
- the number of national assembly districts look correct
- the number of countyy assembly wards looks correct
I have a couple additional questions to address, but I think this is in pretty good shape.

I haven't thoroughly researched this but I have a question about the wards:
Are they really subdivided from the national assembly districts? In other words, if there is a redistricting of the assembly districts in a county, is it valid to have wards move from one assembly district to another?

Within the current administrative structure, wards are subdivided from national assembly districts, and the delimitation of electoral units per constitution ought to be reviewed at intervals of roughly between 8 to 12 years depending on population quotas.
On the uploaded data, some Wards bear similar names due to the fact that these are localized regions and on occasion, names tend to be replicated eg Biashara Ward appears in 3 Constituencies (Ruiru, Naivasha & Nakuru Town East)

Thanks for the additional details, but I don't think this answers my question.
Here's a more concrete hypothetical:
Suppose a redistricting happens and the size of Baringo South ocd-division/country:ke/county:ke01/ed:baringo_south increases. With this change in size The number of wards in Baringo South increases from 4 to 5 and the number of wards in Baringo Central decreases from 5 to 4.
Let's suppose Tenges, ocd-division/country:ke/county:ke01/ed:baringo_central/ward:tenges is the ward removed from Baringo Central and added to Baringo South.
In this situation should the Tenges Ward be considered the same Ward in the County Government, or would it be considered a new Ward since it has moved to a new electoral district?
