A recent survey conducted by Mwelekeo Insights has revealed the current preferences of the constituency’s voters, showing a clear frontrunner with a significant lead over the rest of the field.
The findings show that the contest is not close at the top. One candidate has emerged with a level of support that puts them in a commanding position, while the rest of the pack trails far behind.
The Clear Frontrunner with 54.9%
Wambui Nyutu of the Democracy for the Citizen’s Party (DCP)has established a dominant position in the race. She enjoys the support of a majority of the electorate, with 54.9% of respondents indicating they would vote for her.
This places her well ahead of her competitors with just under a year to go before the country goes to the polls.
The large margin suggests that a significant portion of the constituency views her as the preferred candidate to represent them in the National Assembly.
The results show a clear sentiment in the community, with more than half of the voters already leaning towards her.
The Battle for Second Place with 31.5%
The race for the second position is a more distant contest. Mary Wamaua incumbent MP under the UDA party has emerged as the main challenger, holding 31.5% of the vote share.
This places her as the second most preferred candidate, though she trails the leader by a considerable margin.
Behind her, Jimmy Mbaku features prominently in the survey with 11.5% of the vote. The remaining candidates in the field account for a very small portion of the respondents.
Cyrus Ngugi holds 0.9%, Laban Choma has 0.7%, and William Kamau Ngoru brings up the rear with 0.5% of the preferences.
