Nearly half of Kenyan voters have said they will re-elect their governors who will seek another term in the 2017 general elections.
According to the latest Ipsos survey whose results were released on Friday, 48 percent of Kenyans said they will support their current governors in 2017 just as they did in the 2013 general elections.
A third stated they were unwilling to vote these leaders back into office, while another 14 percent were uncertain as to who will receive their vote.
Apparently, Cord supporters emerged to be more willing to vote back their incumbent governors as compared to the Jubilee supporters.
The survey further showed 56 percent of opposition supporters who voted for their currently serving governors were more than willing to vote for them once again.
Thirty percent were not willing to have them back, whereas 14 percent were not sure.
"It is unclear as to whether this reflects the perceived better performances by individual governors," Ipsos said.
Among Jubilee supporters, 44 percent who voted for their governors way back in 2013 said they will evidently bring them back.
Governors across the counties have in the recent past been put on the spot over irresponsible spending and corruption.
An independent report by the World Bank titled 'Spending More or Spending Smart?', released last year painted a disturbing outlook of development prospects across majority of counties which were spending billions of monies on recurrent expenditures at the expense of development projects.
