A Digital survey conducted by Mwelekeo Insights shows clear views among those who took part.
Hassan Omar from UDA leads with 60.2 percent support. This puts him in a strong position as voters consider the future of the county.
Many residents want change in how the county is managed. Issues like better roads, clean water, and job opportunities matter to them. Hassan Omar appears to connect with these concerns. His lead suggests that a good number of people believe he can bring the improvements they seek.
Close Competition from Independent Candidate
Ali Menza Mbogo, running as an independent, comes in second with 31.8 percent.
This shows that some voters prefer someone outside the main parties. Independent candidates can sometimes offer fresh ideas without party limits. Mbogo’s support indicates that not everyone wants to follow traditional party lines in Mombasa.
Other candidates received smaller shares. Mohamed Ali from Wiper got 4.6 percent. Suleiman Shahbal from ODM received 2 percent, while Abdulswamad Nassir, also from ODM, got 1 percent.
A small 0.3 percent remained undecided. These numbers point to a race where two main choices stand out, but others still have a presence.
What the Results Mean for Mombasa
The survey highlights how political support is divided in the coastal city. UDA enjoys strong backing, but the independent option draws a large group too.
This split could shape how campaigns develop in the coming months. Parties may need to listen more to local needs to win over voters.
Mombasa faces real challenges. Leaders must focus on daily life problems such as traffic, business growth, and youth employment.
The poll results serve as an early sign of what people want. They show that voters are paying attention and have clear preferences at this stage.
As the 2027 elections draw closer, things can still change. New issues may arise, and candidates will work hard to build more support. For now, the survey gives a picture of current thinking among those who shared their views.
