Mwelekeo Insights has released the results of its latest survey on the Kiambaa Constituency parliamentary race, and Lenah Koinange of the Jubilee Party emerges as the clear leader with 56.8 percent support.
The findings give an early picture of how residents currently view the candidates ahead of the next general election. With one name standing well ahead of the others, the results offer useful insight into the present state of preference in the constituency.
Strong Support for Lenah Koinange
Lenah Koinange sits firmly at the top of the rankings. Her 56.8 percent share places her more than twenty percentage points clear of the nearest challenger.
This level of support suggests she has managed to connect with a significant portion of those who took part in the survey. For many following local politics in Kiambaa, such a lead at this stage is notable.
Coming second is Damaris Waiganjo of the Democracy for the Citizen’s Party (DCP) with 29.7 percent. She holds a comfortable gap over the remaining candidates, showing that she has also gathered a meaningful level of attention within the constituency.
The distance between first and second place remains wide, yet her position keeps her as the main alternative at present.
Other Candidates in the Field
The rest of the field records much smaller shares. Raymond Kuria of the DCP stands at 3.6 percent.
John Kawanjiku of the United Democratic Alliance and Kariri Njama, also of the DCP, each have 3.5 percent. James Gatu of the same party follows with 1.4 percent, while Stephen Karumbi records 1.2 percent. Robert Ng’ang’a of the DCP completes the list with 0.2 percent.
These lower figures show that while several candidates have entered the contest, the bulk of expressed preference is concentrated between the top two names. In many constituency races, early numbers of this kind can shift as campaigns gain momentum, yet they still provide a clear snapshot of current standing.
Reading the Mood in Kiambaa
Kiambaa has long been an area where both party loyalty and the individual appeal of candidates matter. The strong showing for Lenah Koinange indicates she currently enjoys broad support among those surveyed. At the same time, Damaris Waiganjo’s second-place position means the race is not entirely one-sided at this stage.
Local concerns such as development projects, access to services, and effective representation in Nairobi often shape how residents weigh their options. Surveys like this one help candidates and parties understand which messages are landing and where they may need to strengthen their outreach. For ordinary residents, the results offer an early sense of the choices that may appear on the ballot when the time comes.
Public opinion can change, of course. New developments, active campaigning, and shifts in national politics all play a role. Even so, having clear percentages available now allows everyone following the race to track progress as more information becomes available in the months ahead.
