The survey places Sifuna at 39 percent support in Nairobi, significantly ahead of President Ruto, who commands 13 percent backing in the metropolitan region.
Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua trails in the capital at three percent, while 17 percent of Nairobi respondents indicated they remain undecided about their preferred presidential candidate.
The strong showing in Nairobi underscores Sifuna’s growing political traction in his home county as he consolidates support under the Linda Mwananchi Movement.
Beyond the capital, the November 2026 TIFA report highlights distinct regional voting patterns across the country.
While Sifuna and Ruto are tied nationally at 31 percent each as joint frontrunners, the Head of State maintains substantial leads in several key regions, commanding 62 percent support in Northern Kenya, 59 percent in the Central Rift, and 40 percent across the Coast region.
Meanwhile, Wiper party leader Kalonzo Musyoka dominates Lower Eastern with 55 percent support, and former Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang’i records his highest regional backing in Nyanza at 12 percent.
The findings illustrate a sharply segmented electoral map where regional bases and urban voter sentiment are playing decisive roles ahead of the 2027 General Election.
