The emerging showdown centres on Geoffrey Mosiria, a rising political voice, and Edwin Sifuna, the current Nairobi Senator who has built a strong public image.
A simple poll-style question has turned into a storm of passionate opinions, revealing just how seriously city residents view the coming race.
A large section of online users threw their weight behind Sifuna, praising his visibility, charisma and ability to command attention in national politics.
Comments painted him as a leader who works around the clock, with some calling him a king in Nairobi politics and even joking that he fits every position imaginable.
Others advanced the debate further by declaring Sifuna ready for even higher office, with suggestions of a future presidency showing the confidence his supporters have in his leadership journey.
Many described him as the unstoppable face of the capital and a senator who has maintained a bold voice.
However, the conversation did not ignore Geoffrey Mosiria. His backers argued that he represents fresh energy and deserves a chance to take up a leadership position.
Some commenters suggested that Mosiria should pursue elective roles ranging from ward level to Member of Parliament, viewing him as a young figure who could grow into a larger political force.
A few participants went further, proposing that Mosiria could build his base in Nairobi before aiming for higher positions, reflecting a belief that he has untapped potential and room to rise.
Even in the lively exchanges, most contributors found themselves circling back to Sifuna as the dominant favourite.
Phrases like super senator and king of Nairobi highlighted the scale of support he enjoys in the public discourse.
Yet, Mosiria’s name continued to appear, indicating that he is not entirely out of the conversation and may surprise observers if he strengthens his political presence before the election season arrives.
The early reactions show that Nairobi voters are already engaged, alert and ready for a competitive season.
The race is still two years away, but the drumbeats have started, and the capital is clearly paying attention.
