According to the county-level breakdown from the November survey, the movement—associated with Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna—significantly outperforms traditional heavyweights within the capital.
Linda Mwananchi’s 26 percent backing places it comfortably ahead of the Democracy for the Citizens Party (DCP) at 11 percent, the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) at nine percent, the ruling United Democratic Alliance (UDA) at eight percent, and the Wiper Patriotic Front at seven percent.
The strong showing underscores the movement's deep traction among urban voters, complementing Senator Sifuna’s high personal preference ratings within the metropolitan area.
Nationally, UDA retains the top position with 25 percent support, while the Linda Mwananchi Movement surges into second place nationwide at 17 percent, closely followed by ODM at 10 percent.
However, the TIFA survey notes that party alignments remain fluid, with 31 percent of respondents in Nairobi and 26 percent nationwide stating they do not feel close to or aligned with any formal political party.
As political parties intensify mobilization ahead of the August 2027 General Election, capturing urban battlegrounds like Nairobi will remain a crucial pillar in shaping national coalitions.
