Peter Masara has taken the lead in the November 2026 Migori gubernatorial poll published by Mwelekeo Insights, placing him ahead of Mark Nyamita and incumbent Governor Ochillo Ayacko.
Masara secured 40.3 per cent, giving him a 13.3 percentage-point lead over Nyamita, who recorded 27 per cent. Ayacko followed in third position with 20.8 per cent.
The poll also placed John Pesa at 6.5 per cent, while Robert Okong’o registered 5.4 per cent. The figures also show Pesa and Okong’o recorded smaller shares.
The results were published on November 12 after the online poll closed. They provide a snapshot of preferences expressed during the voting period, as recorded on its website, rather than a prediction of the final outcome of the Migori governor race.
