The survey reported a 95 percent confidence level with a margin of error of plus or minus three percent. Respondents comprised 53 percent women and 47 percent men, largely drawn from urban neighbourhoods.
The findings reflect growing public demand for accountable and performance-driven leadership at the county level as Nairobi continues to expand and urban service delivery pressures intensify.
