Preliminary polling data released by Mizani Africa has offered an early snapshot of the developing race for the Lang’ata parliamentary seat ahead of the 2027 General Election.
The figures place sitting MP Phelix Jalang’o in the lead, while also highlighting a competitive field and a significant number of undecided voters.
According to the voter preference results shared by Mizani Africa on X, Jalang’o currently commands 35.1 per cent support among respondents in the constituency.
The polling firm attributed this position to early voter choices shaped by incumbency and public familiarity, factors that often influence opinion in the initial stages of an electoral cycle.
The data also identifies Abass Khalif as the closest challenger, with 24.9 per cent support.
Khalif is the elected Member of County Assembly for South C Ward, and his showing suggests growing name recognition beyond his ward.
Mizani Africa noted that his performance reflects an ability to attract constituency-wide attention at this early stage of the race.
A notable feature of the survey is the proportion of voters who have yet to settle on a candidate.
The poll indicates that 17.6 per cent of respondents remain undecided, pointing to an electorate that is still weighing its options more than a year before the next general election.
Mizani Africa stated that other aspirants in the Lang’ata contest registered lower levels of support.
While these candidates were not individually detailed in the statement, the figures suggest that voter preference is beginning to concentrate around a smaller group, even as the field remains open.
Lang’ata Constituency, located in Nairobi County, has historically attracted close attention during election periods due to its diverse voter base and active political engagement.
Parliamentary races in the area have often evolved significantly as campaigns progress and candidates expand their outreach.
The polling firm emphasized that the results should be viewed as an early indicator rather than a prediction of the final outcome.
It noted that voter alignments remain fluid and could change as the campaign period advances and candidates intensify engagement with residents.
The findings form part of Mizani Africa’s ongoing public opinion tracking ahead of the 2027 polls, providing early insight into how voters are positioning themselves as the electoral season gradually takes shape.
