The Kiambu County Women Representative race is beginning to take shape after the latest scientific survey by Mwelekeo Insights showed Jubilee Party candidate Angel Mbuthia holding a clear lead over her rivals.
The findings provide one of the clearest views of the current political landscape in the county, offering valuable insight into voter preferences as political activity continues to gather momentum.
According to the survey, Angel Mbuthia enjoys the support of about 45.7 percent of respondents, placing her well ahead of the other candidates in the race.
The figures suggest that she has established a strong connection with a significant section of the electorate and currently holds a comfortable advantage.
Evangelist Mercy Nungari of the Democracy for the Citizens Party (DCP) follows in second place with approximately 24.8 percent support.
While she remains behind the Jubilee candidate, the survey indicates that she continues to command the backing of a sizeable number of voters and remains an important contender in the contest.
UDA candidate Hon. Ann Muratha records about 22.7 percent support, making the battle for second place highly competitive.
Independent candidate Rosemary Muthoni Kinuthia attracts around 6.7 percent support, reflecting the continued influence of established political parties in county elections where party affiliation often plays a significant role in shaping voter decisions.
One of the survey’s most striking findings is that there were no undecided voters.
This suggests that residents of Kiambu County have already formed clear opinions about their preferred candidates, pointing to a politically engaged electorate and an increasingly defined race.
What the Survey Means
The poll offers valuable information not only for voters but also for candidates and political parties.
Angel Mbuthia’s lead may encourage her campaign to consolidate its existing support while seeking to reach more voters.
Evangelist Mercy Nungari and Hon. Ann Muratha are likely to use the findings to identify areas where they can strengthen their campaigns and improve their standing before the election.
Professionally conducted opinion polls provide political actors with an opportunity to make informed strategic decisions based on public sentiment rather than speculation.
The latest survey also highlights the growing importance of scientific public opinion research in Kenya’s democratic process.
Reliable polling provides a glimpse of voter attitudes at a specific point in time, helping political leaders, analysts, the media, and the public better understand the direction of electoral contests.
While surveys do not determine election outcomes, they remain an important tool for measuring public opinion and tracking political trends.

Beyond Politics
Among its nationwide studies was research examining Kenyan men’s attitudes towards the bride price tradition.
The survey found that while many respondents still considered bride price an important symbol of respect, family unity, and cultural heritage, changing economic realities and evolving social values were influencing public opinion.
The study revealed that 65 percent of respondents supported sharing the cost of bride price with their wives, while 83 percent preferred gradual payments instead of a single lump sum.
It also found that 89 percent believed bride price should be viewed as a gesture of appreciation rather than a strict condition for marriage.
The research further showed that younger, urban, and more educated respondents were generally more supportive of reforms than older and rural participants, providing important insights into how cultural practices continue to evolve across generations.
Such studies demonstrate the breadth of Mwelekeo Insights’ research capabilities.
By producing scientific data on both political and social issues, the firm continues to contribute to informed public debate while helping decision-makers understand the views and priorities of Kenyans.
