In a recent digital survey conducted by Mwelekeo Insights, residents of Makadara Constituency in Nairobi have shared their views on who they prefer as Member of Parliament for the 2027 general election.
The poll, titled “Makadara Constituency 2027 MP Survey,” gathered opinions from people in the area and produced clear final rankings based on percentage support. With full participation recorded and all ballots counted as valid, the results give a useful early look at public feeling ahead of the next elections.
Close Contest Between the Top Two Candidates
The survey results show a very close battle for first place. Geoffrey Wauna, also known as “Pedeshe,” came out on top with 42.6 percent support. Right behind him was Faith Norah Lukosi, who received 42 percent.
The gap between them was less than one percentage point, making the race extremely tight.
These two candidates together collected the large majority of the support. Their strong showing suggests that many voters in Makadara currently see them as the leading options for the parliamentary seat.
Other Candidates Trail Behind
Further down the rankings, the percentages drop sharply. George Aladwa of the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) took third place with 9.1 percent. Irungu Nyakera of the Democratic Congress Party (DCP) followed with 4.5 percent support.
The remaining candidates received much smaller shares.
Reuben Ndolo got 0.9 percent, Mark Ndung’u received 0.5 percent, Anthony Waithaka had 0.3 percent, and Benson Mutura collected 0.1 percent.
The poll reported zero rejected ballots and 100 percent turnout among those who took part.
These figures help show that the percentage results reflect the views of the people who chose to vote in the survey.
What the Results Suggest for Makadara
Makadara is an important constituency in Nairobi. Voters there care about issues such as jobs, housing, security, and better services. Early polls like this one can help candidates understand where they stand and what they need to improve.
The very small difference between the top two candidates means the race could change as more people become aware of the candidates and their plans.
For ordinary residents, surveys of this kind offer a chance to make their voices heard before the official campaigns heat up. They also give political parties and community leaders useful information about public mood based on clear percentage support.
Why Online Polls Matter
Online and digital polls have become a common way for people to share opinions quickly. They allow many residents to take part from their phones or computers. While such surveys do not replace official election results, they can highlight early trends through percentage rankings and encourage more discussion about leadership and development needs in the area.
The Makadara survey is one of several constituency-level polls that have been run to track interest in the 2027 elections. Results like these, focused on percentages, can prompt candidates to reach out more to voters and explain their ideas clearly.
More surveys and public conversations will follow. Residents of Makadara will continue to watch how the candidates perform and what plans they offer for the constituency. The current tight race between Geoffrey Wauna “Pedeshe” at 42.6 percent and Faith Norah Lukosi at 42 percent shows that no one has a clear lead yet, and public opinion may still shift.
In the end, the people of Makadara will decide through the ballot box. Polls such as this one simply give an early picture of where percentage support stands today.
