22 Base: NASA supporters = 465, Jubilee supporters= 285, Other parties=79 Observations Observations

A significant number of respondents are unlikely to follow the 6-piece voting. This is an indication that they evaluate candidates on other attributes apart from political party affiliation.

The two leading governor candidates are attracting voters from various political parties. However Mike Sonko attracts a higher proportion of supporters that are not from his party as compared to Evans Kidero.

The proportion of undecided voters for the Senator seat is very high. The top two candidates will need to work harder to persuade the undecided voters.

Esther Passaris has already garnered majority support and therefore has a lead over her competitors.

24 Are opinion polls bullet proof?

 Voter turnout: is a key determinant factor on the actual election outcome. There is a need to encourage the younger age group 18-30 years to vote. Civic education has a role to play in ensuring participation in the electoral process.

 Last minute alliances and changes in voting blocks could change the political platform. In some instances, one less popular candidate could cede ground and support one who is more popular.
