Buzeki leading in hotly contested Uasin Gishu race – pollster

Uasin Gishu Governor, Jackson Mandago, would lose his seat to independent candidate, Zedekiah Bundotich Kiprop alias Buzeki, if elections were held today, new Infotrak poll shows.

Buzeki, who was trounced during the Jubilee primaries by Mandago for Uasin Gishu Gubernatorial race is now leading with a 54.2% approval rating, while Mandago would garner 42.1% of the votes.

In Mombasa County, Governor Ali Hassan Joho takes a landslide lead with 63% approval rating, leaving a gaping margin between him and Jubilee’s Shahbal Suleiman who garners 15.3%, followed by Wiper Senator Hassan Omar at a distant 4.8%.

According to Infotrak, incumbent Senator Bonny Khalwale vying under Ford Kenya for Kakamega Gubernatorial seat would lose to ODM incumbent governor, Wycliffe Oparanya, who is leading the polls with 68.3% and Khalwale shadowing him with 13.1%.

However, a large percentage of voters remains undecided.
