The survey figures place President Ruto’s support in the Northern zone at 62 percent, edging out the Central Rift region, where he records 59 percent backing.
While the Rift Valley has historically served as a core bedrock for his political career, the findings indicate that Northern Kenya currently stands as his strongest-performing zone among all evaluated regions.
Analysts attribute this high regional rating to targeted development programs, local political realignments, and sustained administrative engagement across pastoralist communities.
Beyond Northern Kenya and the Central Rift, the TIFA survey outlines a sharply divided national map for the incumbent, with support levels varying significantly across other regions.
President Ruto registers 40 percent backing at the Coast, 35 percent in Nyanza, 29 percent in the South Rift, 25 percent in Western, and 20 percent in Lower Eastern.
His figures decline further in urban and opposition-leaning areas, standing at 13 percent in Nairobi and 11 percent in Mt. Kenya. Nationally, President Ruto is tied with Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna at 31 percent apiece, highlighting a highly competitive and fluid race as political formations realign ahead of the August 2027 General Election.
