Good News to Ruto Ally From Mt Kenya As Opinion Poll Shows She is Ahead in the Woman Rep Race

Nyeri Woman Representative Rahab Mukami has received good news after the latest opinion poll ranked her ahead in the race for the seat she currently holds.

The new poll, released by Politrack Africa on Thursday, November 12, 2026, indicates that Mukami is the most popular candidate in the Nyeri Woman Representative race, with 22.3%.

Second place goes to Anita Thumbi at 15.6%, followed by Karen Mwangi and Jacinta Wahome with 13.8% and 12.3%, respectively.

Wangechi Wahome has 9.7%, followed by Wangu Mathenge at 7.2%, Brenda Wangui Gatere at 5.9%, and Faith Muita at 4.9%. Nyawira wa Kariuki has 4.3%, while Hellen Mwangi closes the top ten with 2.7%.

Politrack Africa has also revealed that other candidates share 0.4%, while 0.9% of respondents are yet to decide whom they will vote for to become the next Nyeri Woman Representative.

Mukami is serving her second term as Nyeri Woman Representative. She was first elected in 2017 on a Jubilee Party ticket. Mukami successfully retained the seat in 2022 on a United Democratic Alliance (UDA) ticket.

Despite being an ally of President William Ruto, Mukami voted against the impeachment of former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua when the motion was tabled in the National Assembly in 2024.

Mukami is seeking a third term on a UDA ticket, even though she comes from Nyeri, Gachagua’s home county. The Woman Representative is expected to face a Democracy for the Citizens Party (DCP) candidate whom Gachagua will front for the seat in his political backyard.
