Angel Mbuthia has opened a significant lead in the Kiambu County Women Representative race after a Mwelekeo Insights survey placed her ahead of the other candidates in one of the county’s most closely watched political contests.
The final survey results show Jubilee candidate Mbuthia leading with 45.7 percent, putting her in a strong position as political competition in Kiambu continues to intensify ahead of the 2027 General Election.
DCP candidate Evangelist Mercy Nungari is second with 24.8 percent, while UDA candidate Hon. Ann Muratha follows closely with 22.7 percent.
Independent candidate Rosemary Muthoni Kinuthia comes fourth with 6.7 percent, while the survey recorded zero percent undecided voters, showing that respondents had already settled on their preferred candidates.
The Race
The findings point to a race that is beginning to take shape, with Mbuthia enjoying a comfortable advantage over her competitors.
While the campaign is still expected to attract intense political activity, the latest figures provide an early indication of where public support currently stands.
The survey also recorded zero percent rejected ballots, reflecting the clarity of responses collected during the polling exercise.
Together with the absence of undecided voters, the results present a clear picture of voter sentiment across the county.
For political parties, candidates and campaign teams, the survey offers valuable insight into the current political landscape and the issues likely to shape the contest in the months ahead.
