Senator Johnson Sakaja is the most preferred candidate for the Nairobi Governor's seat, according to a new poll by TIFA.
According to the polls, 30% of the Nairobians have faith in Sakaja to be the next Governor.
Nairobi Woman Rep Esther Passaris comes second at 11% and Westlands MP Tim Wanyonyi at 6%.
However, TIFA noted that since it was far from the polls, it would be difficult to predict whether he would hold the sizeable lead until election day in 2022.

“All the findings included in this second release are taken from the national survey Tifa research conducted between 7th and 13th November 2021," the survey read in part.
According to the poll, these are the most preferred candidates for the Nairobi governor seat.

Sakaja recently announced that he would be vying for the Nairobi governor seat in the 2022 general election.
“I have been listening to a lot of people who even then were not in support but now say we need somebody like you who has been in this city and has seen all these levels of leadership, knows the entire city and so this is the direction I am heading to; to serve the people of Nairobi in the position of governor with a proper vision of what we want to achieve in the next 10 years,” Sakaja said while making the announcement.
