Geoffrey Wauna, the youthful Linda Mwananchi Movement (LMM) MP aspirant, has emerged as the front-runner in the race for Makadara’s parliamentary seat.
He led the field in the Makadara Constituency MP Poll by Mwelekeo Insights with 35.9% of total votes cast.
The poll ran from 9 to 10 November 2026 and asked respondents one question: who they would vote for as the next Makadara MP if elections were held today. Wauna finished first among eight named candidates in a crowded and competitive contest.
Irungu Nyakera of the DCP placed second with 30.2%, while Faith Norah Lukosi of the Linda Mwananchi Movement (LMM) followed with 28.8%. Wauna’s lead over Nyakera stands at 5.7 percentage points, and the remaining candidates each polled 2.4% or less.
Wauna’s lead points to growing appetite in Makadara for new, energetic leadership. Online reaction suggests his supporters see him as a leader with the energy and connection to deliver. One supporter on the poll’s discussion page called him the “incoming MP” and referred to him by the popular nickname “Pedeshee,” while another declared simply that “Pedeshee is the man.”
The enthusiasm around his candidacy reflects a wider conversation among Makadara residents about leadership that is visible, accessible and felt on the ground.
Wauna’s standing also strengthens LMM’s position in the constituency. LMM-affiliated candidates together took 65.7% of responses in the poll, a strong base for the party ahead of the contest.
Mwelekeo Insights describes the survey as an open online poll. Its results reflect the views of people who chose to take part and are not a statistically representative sample, and no margin of error applies.
The poll is best read as a measure of enthusiasm and momentum rather than a forecast of the final outcome.
Even so, Wauna’s strong lead in a field of eight is a notable early signal, and his campaign now has real momentum.
