With recent party sponsored opinion polls showing that Ayoi is way a head of the pack, it goes without saying Ayoi will easily clinch the seat.

“Those running against Ayoi are just novices with little to show. In a free and fair contest expect Ayoi to thoroughly beat them” Mary Makungu added.

Ayoi further received a major boost when several aspirants from UDA and ANC postponed their bids to back him.

Ayoi enjoys a fanatical following across all tribes with Luos, Kisiis  Tesos, Kambas , Kikuyus all backing him.
