Mwelekeo Insights has released the results of its Homa Bay County Woman Representative 2027 Survey, giving a clear picture of public opinion in the Nyanza region ahead of the next general election.
The digital survey, conducted among voters in Homa Bay County, shows how support is currently distributed among several candidates, with strong attention paid to the percentages that each person holds. These figures help paint a simple and useful view of the race without focusing on raw vote counts.
Current Standing of the Leading Contenders
At the top of the rankings is Racheal Ogutu of the Orange Democratic Movement, commonly known as ODM.
She currently leads with 42.3 percent of the support. This places her just ahead of the next closest candidate and shows that she enjoys a solid share of preference among those who took part in the survey.
Close behind her is Merine Anyango Odhiambo, who is running under the MDG party. She holds 40.5 percent.
The gap between these two is very small, less than two percentage points, which suggests the contest at the front is still competitive and could shift depending on how campaigns develop in the coming months.
Support for Other Candidates
Further down the list, Tabitha Nyandiek has gathered 7.2 percent. No party is listed beside her name in the survey results.
Dr. Joyce “Bensouda” Osogo, also of ODM, follows with 6.7 percent.
Her presence means ODM has two candidates appearing in the top four, which may point to internal party dynamics that voters are watching.
Molline Atieno Ngala stands at 1.5 percent, Mary Ojode at 1 percent, and Lavender Ojalla of the United Democratic Alliance, or UDA, at 0.8 percent.
These lower percentages show that a number of candidates are still working to build wider recognition and support across the county.
What the Percentages Reveal
Looking at the overall picture, the two leading candidates together account for more than four-fifths of the expressed preference.
This concentration of support at the top often happens in early surveys and can change as more voters become engaged or as candidates increase their visibility. The remaining share is spread thinly among several other names. Parties that appear in the results include ODM, which has two candidates in the upper rankings, MDG with one strong contender, and UDA with a smaller share.
These party labels give voters a sense of the political homes of the main figures in the race.
The survey recorded full participation from those who took part, with every ballot counted as valid. This level of engagement helps make the percentage figures more reliable as a snapshot of current thinking in Homa Bay County.
Why These Results Matter for Homa Bay
Woman Representative seats play an important role in county and national discussions, especially on matters that affect women, youth, and community development.
Early surveys such as this one allow residents, party officials, and observers to understand where public interest currently lies.
They also give candidates a chance to see which messages or approaches may be connecting with voters and which areas may need more attention.
In a competitive environment where two candidates sit close together at the top, every percentage point can become meaningful as the election draws nearer.
The results also highlight the value of independent data collection. When percentages are presented clearly and without exaggeration, they help reduce speculation and give everyone a shared set of numbers to discuss.
Residents of Homa Bay can use this information to follow the race more closely, while political parties can adjust their strategies based on the real levels of support shown.
