For those still clinging to the fantasy that Dr. Irene Kasalu’s poll wins were just beginner’s luck, the latest Mizani Africa numbers have dumped a bucket of reality on their heads. The message is loud and clear, Dr Kasalu is no longer just one of the contenders, she has become the candidate everyone else is chasing.

Dr Irene Kasalu just finished mopping the floor with her rivals in the WIPER nomination poll, grabbing a ruthless 58.4 percent and leaving Dr. Makali Mulu and Senator Enoch Kiio looking like extras in their own movie. Now, her five pillars of operation, Accessibility, service, trust, competence and empowerment plans have bulldozed her candidacy all the way to the front again👊🏾, this time in a countywide poll packed with Kitui’s so-called political giants.

According to the Mizani Africa poll, Dr Irene Kasalu commands 37.4 percent support, comfortably ahead of Dr. Makali Mulu at 22.1 percent, former Governor Charity Ngilu at 17.0 percent, and Senator Enoch Wambua at 14.3 percent. Six percent of respondents remain undecided.

• Dr Irene Kasalu is cruising with a 15.3-point cushion over Makali Mulu, while Charity Ngilu is left chasing shadows 20.4 points behind. As for Senator Enoch Wambua, he’s so far back he might need a map to find the front.

But the real story here is the relentless consistency.

In just a matter of days, Kasalu has topped two separate polls, two different questions, and two different crowds.

• First, WIPER diehards picked her as their champion.
• Then, the wider Kitui public said if the election was today, she’d walk away with the crown.

Different polls✅. Different faces.✅ Different battlegrounds.✅

That kind of consistency is what gives political strategists sleepless nights 🥹, when one candidate keeps topping every chart, it’s a sign their support is swelling, not shrinking.

For Dr Irene Kasalu, these numbers don’t just say she’s a WIPER favorite, they literally screamimg that she’s now the heavyweight in the 2027 Kitui governor ring.

In the ruthless world of politics, momentum is the one beast nobody knows how to cage., and that of Dr Kasalu’s seems to be a special one 👊🏾
