It reflects what many Kenyans are thinking about President William Ruto and the work his administration is doing,&#8221; Okello said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He attributed the president&#8217;s support to government development projects, including investments in infrastructure and public services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Okello pointed to projects in Kenya&#8217;s North Eastern region, saying they had helped boost support for the president.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;People are happy because they are seeing development they had never experienced since Independence,&#8221; he said, referring to recent government initiatives in the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Okello also said he believed support for Ruto was increasing in Nyanza.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;The numbers in Nyanza are encouraging. We want our people to continue supporting President Ruto because development benefits every Kenyan regardless of where they come from,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/thefocuspaper.co.ke\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/IMG-20260713-WA0038-2-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-25344 lazyload\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/thefocuspaper.co.ke\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/IMG-20260713-WA0038-2-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/thefocuspaper.co.ke\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/IMG-20260713-WA0038-2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thefocuspaper.co.ke\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/IMG-20260713-WA0038-2-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thefocuspaper.co.ke\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/IMG-20260713-WA0038-2-1536x1023.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/thefocuspaper.co.ke\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/IMG-20260713-WA0038-2-1100x733.jpg 1100w, https:\/\/thefocuspaper.co.ke\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/IMG-20260713-WA0038-2-680x453.jpg 680w, https:\/\/thefocuspaper.co.ke\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/IMG-20260713-WA0038-2-200x133.jpg 200w, https:\/\/thefocuspaper.co.ke\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/IMG-20260713-WA0038-2-20x13.jpg 20w, https:\/\/thefocuspaper.co.ke\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/IMG-20260713-WA0038-2.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><strong><em>President William Ruto giving out a bus to Migori youth football team\/Photo:Courtesy.<\/em><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">UDA&#8217;s Homa Bay County chairman, Kennedy Obuya, said the survey reflected the party&#8217;s growing support in the region and pledged to intensify grassroots mobilisation ahead of the next election.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;The percentage of UDA support in Nyanza is picking up well.
