The latest IdealMerit Opinion Poll placing Hon. Jateso Peter Imwatok at the top of the 2027 Teso South parliamentary race with 53.5% voter support reflects growing public confidence in his leadership, experience and track record of service.

As the long-serving Majority Leader of the Nairobi City County Assembly, Imwatok has distinguished himself as one of Kenya's most effective and influential county legislators. Throughout his tenure, he has played a pivotal role in steering key legislative business, building consensus across political divides and ensuring the smooth running of the Assembly while championing policies aimed at improving service delivery for Nairobi residents.

His leadership has been instrumental in advancing legislation that strengthens governance, enhances accountability and supports the implementation of development programmes across the capital city. Colleagues and stakeholders alike have often commended his calm, inclusive and results-oriented leadership style, which has earned him respect beyond Nairobi County.

Beyond his legislative responsibilities, Imwatok has consistently demonstrated a commitment to empowering communities through education support, youth mentorship, women's economic empowerment and initiatives that promote social welfare.

The poll findings suggest that many voters in Teso South see in Imwatok a leader with the experience, networks and proven ability to deliver tangible development. His years of navigating complex governance issues at the county level are viewed by supporters as valuable preparation for representing the constituency in the National Assembly.

Should this support be sustained, he enters the 2027 parliamentary race as a formidable contender whose leadership credentials continue to resonate with voters.
