Township Ward presents a more competitive scenario. Ileli and Musambi are neck and neck, with 40% and 30% support, respectively. Kyalo Muli receives 10%, and 20% of the voters remain undecided.
Musambi gains ground in Mulango Ward, where he secures the support of 50% of the respondents, outpacing Ileli who received 20%. Wamavati earns 20% support, with the remaining 30% undecided.
