According to sources close to local political circles, Ndonga, a close ally of Kitui West MP Hon. Edith Nyenze, is widely seen as the frontrunner.
Ndonga has remained actively engaged in community development and grassroots mobilization, is believed to have gained significant ground in recent months. His close ties with Hon. Edith Nyenze and visible presence in ward affairs have reportedly boosted his popularity among the electorate.
Residents and political observers note that his commitment to local development, youth empowerment, and advocacy for better services has endeared him to many, particularly in areas that feel underrepresented.
