Mwelekeo Insights has released the final results of its digital survey on the Dagoretti South parliamentary race, offering a clear look at how people currently view the leading candidates ahead of the 2027 elections.
The poll was conducted on the Mwelekeo Insights digital polling platform and has now closed, giving the public a snapshot of voter preferences in this Nairobi constituency.
The findings show a strong lead for one candidate while others trail at different levels of support, with political parties playing a clear role in how the results are shaped.
Leading Candidates and Their Support
The top position went to Wakili Steve of the Jubilee Party, who secured 46 percent of the support in the survey.
This places him well ahead of the rest of the field and suggests solid backing from those who took part in the online poll.
Coming in second is John Kiarie of the UDA party, who recorded 29.2 percent. The gap between the first and second place is notable, pointing to a clear preference for the Jubilee candidate among the respondents at this stage.
Other Contenders in the Race
Further down the results, Dennis Waweru of the DCP party gathered 12.1 percent of the support. Close behind him is Fanya Mambo Kinuthia, also of the DCP party, with 10.6 percent.
The presence of two candidates from the same party in this range shows that support within DCP is split rather than concentrated on a single figure.
At the lower end of the rankings is Edward “Tosh” of the MVP party, who received 2.2 percent. These percentages highlight how the race currently stands, with one clear frontrunner and a group of challengers holding smaller shares of public preference.
How the Survey Was Conducted
The survey focused purely on the parliamentary seat in Dagoretti South and was open to participants through the Mwelekeo Insights platform.
Results were updated in real time while the poll remained active, allowing people to follow the shifts as more responses came in. The final figures now provide a fixed picture of where sentiment sits.
Political parties such as Jubilee, UDA, DCP, and MVP are clearly identified alongside each candidate, making it easy to see not only individual popularity but also the broader party leanings among those who voted in the poll.
What the Percentages Reveal
These numbers matter because they reflect current feelings rather than past election outcomes. In a constituency like Dagoretti South, public opinion can shift as campaigns develop, local issues gain attention, and candidates engage more directly with residents.
The strong showing for the Jubilee candidate at 46 percent suggests a firm base of support, while the 29.2 percent for the UDA candidate shows that a significant portion of respondents still lean in that direction.
The combined support for the two DCP candidates sits below 23 percent, indicating that the party has a presence but is currently divided.
The small share for the MVP candidate places that option far behind the others.
Online polls of this kind offer a practical way for people to express their views without the need for traditional survey methods. They also give candidates and parties an early signal of how their messages are landing with the public.
Whether the final election results will match these percentages remains to be seen, but the survey already provides useful information for anyone following the race in Dagoretti South.
