The latest TIFA Research Public Perception Survey has ranked Members of Parliament in Kiambu County based on public approval ratings, offering a clear snapshot of how constituents perceive their leaders in terms of performance, delivery, and accessibility.
The survey, conducted between April 25 and May 18, 2026, sampled 2,481 respondents across Kiambu County and assessed voter sentiment on key governance indicators, including development delivery, responsiveness, and constituency engagement. The findings point to an increasingly performance-driven electorate, where approval is closely tied to visible impact on the ground.
Leading the county is Simon King’ara of Ruiru, who tops the ranking with a 72 percent public approval rating. His position reflects strong constituent backing anchored on perceived delivery of local development priorities.
He is closely followed by Gabriel Kagombe of Gatundu South at 70 percent, while Kimani Ichung’wah ranks third with 69 percent. Githua Wamacukuru completes the top four at 68 percent, underscoring a tightly clustered performance gap among leading legislators.
The middle tier remains highly competitive, with John Machua Waithaka at 67 percent, followed by Mburu Kahangara at 66 percent. Njoroge Kururia records 65 percent, while George Koimburi stands at 64 percent.
Further down, John Kiragu Chege posts 62 percent, while John Kawanjiku follows at 61 percent. Despite the lower positioning, both remain within a relatively strong approval band.
At the lower end of the ranking, Gathoni Wamuchomba records 59 percent, while Alice Ng’ang’a is included at 58 in the ranking framework, though her specific approval rating was not captured in the dataset provided.
