Business Mogul Mwenda Thuranira Emerges as Frontrunner in Isiolo North Polls

 

Mwenda Thuranira has taken a clear lead in the Isiolo North parliamentary race, according to the latest survey by Mizani Africa, which places him well ahead of his rivals.

The poll shows Thuranira commanding 61.3 percent support among voters, a figure analysts say underscores his growing influence and strong connection with the community. 

Residents have lauded his consistent presence on the ground, attentiveness to local issues, and promises of inclusive development that address long-standing needs.

Mizani noted that Thuranira’s numbers go beyond mere visibility. “They reflect a bond of trust built over time,” the research firm said, pointing to his rising profile as a credible alternative to the current leadership.

Meanwhile, the survey paints a different picture for the incumbent MP, whose performance rating stands at 31.7 percent. 

The findings suggest growing frustration among constituents, with many feeling their expectations have fallen short since the last election.

With the general election edging closer, voter mood in Isiolo North appears to be shifting toward leaders offering fresh ideas and practical solutions. 

Water scarcity, education, and infrastructure remain top priorities for residents, making them critical issues on which the race is likely to be fought.

Although Thuranira has momentum on his side, analysts caution that sustaining this lead will depend on how effectively he translates popularity into concrete policy proposals and campaign strategies.

Isiolo North, known for its unpredictable and competitive contests, is once again shaping up as a key constituency to watch as the political season heats up.
