An online poll conducted by Australian-based Kenyan Alfred Koech through his popular Facebook page sparked intense competition, drawing an impressive 19,000 votes over two days.
The poll sought to gauge Nandi residents’ preferences ahead of the 2027 gubernatorial elections, where the current governor, Stephen Sang, will exit after serving his two constitutional terms. Four prominent figures were included in the survey: Senator Samson Cherargei, MP Julius Melly, Woman Representative Cynthia Muge, and politician Allan Kosgey, who also serves as the chairman of the Kenya Industrial Property Institute (KIPI), a position he was recently appointed to.
Kosgey Leads in Online Polls
Allan Kosgey emerged as the frontrunner, securing 50% of the total votes. He was followed closely by Woman Representative Cynthia Muge, who garnered 38%. Senator Samson Cherargei finished a distant third, while MP Julius Melly came last.
The poll’s large turnout and heated discussions across various platforms signal an intense political battle ahead, with all candidates expected to intensify their campaigns as 2027 approaches.
Significance of the Polls
The results reflect the impact of Allan Kosgey’s extensive groundwork in Nandi. He has been actively engaging with local leaders and residents, strengthening his position as a formidable contender for the county’s top seat.
Meanwhile, Cynthia Muge’s strong showing suggests she is also preparing strategically for the upcoming race. Her performance in the poll highlights her growing support base and determination to be a key player in the contest.
Corroborating Results from Maskani Poll
A separate survey conducted by Maskani Poll in February reinforced these findings, with Kosgey again taking the lead with over 50% of the votes, while Muge secured 40%.
As the 2027 elections draw closer, more candidates are expected to join the race, making the battle for Nandi’s governorship one to watch.
