Katoo Ole Metito is currently leading the race for Kajiado County governor according to the latest poll by Mwelekeo Insights.
The poll places him at the top with 25.4 percent support. He is closely followed by Peris Tobiko who has 21.7 percent and Samuel Ole Seki with 21.2 percent. Martin Moshisho comes next with 14.6 percent while Tarayia Ole Kores holds 10.7 percent and Dickson Sitei trails with 6.4 percent.
The contest in Kajiado is shaping up as one of the more competitive gubernatorial races in the Rift Valley. Katoo Ole Metito, a long-time political figure in the county and former Member of Parliament, has managed to stay ahead of a field that includes experienced leaders.
Peris Tobiko, a well-known politician who has served in Parliament and as a nominated senator, is not far behind.
Samuel Ole Seki, the current senator for Kajiado, is also in a strong position. Martin Moshisho, who serves as the county’s deputy governor, has built a noticeable share of support as well.
These percentages show that no single candidate has pulled far away from the rest. The gap between the top three is relatively small, which means the race remains open.
Voters in Kajiado appear to be weighing experience, local presence, and past service carefully. The presence of both established names and those with current government roles suggests that residents are looking for continuity in some areas while also considering change in others.
A close contest in Kajiado
The closeness of the top three candidates makes this race interesting to watch. Katoo Ole Metito’s lead is clear but not overwhelming.
Peris Tobiko and Samuel Ole Seki are within a few percentage points of each other, creating a competitive middle ground. Martin Moshisho’s share shows he still has a solid base among those who support the current county leadership. The lower percentages for the remaining candidates indicate that the main competition is concentrated among the top four names.
This kind of tight race often encourages candidates to work harder on the ground. It also gives voters more options and keeps the conversation focused on issues that matter most to people in Kajiado, such as water, land, education, and economic opportunities for young people.
