The survey, conducted online and released on Thursday, November 12, 2026, indicates that the two politicians are enjoying equal support among respondents, each attracting 31 per cent of the votes.
The findings present an interesting picture of the country's political landscape, particularly for Ruto, who is seeking another term in office. Despite the advantages of incumbency, the President has not managed to pull ahead of Sifuna in the latest survey.
Sifuna's performance reflects his growing influence in national politics, largely driven by his involvement in the Linda Mwananchi movement. The Nairobi senator has increasingly attracted attention beyond his political stronghold, positioning himself as one of the figures to watch ahead of the 2027 General Election.
Previous TIFA surveys conducted earlier this year had placed Ruto at 24 per cent, while Sifuna's support rose from 10 per cent in May to 15 per cent in June. The latest figures therefore point to a considerable change in the standings of the two politicians.
However, the reported 31 per cent support for each candidate does not establish who would ultimately win the presidency. The outcome could depend on the strength of political alliances, regional voting patterns and the choices of undecided voters.
With the August 2027 elections drawing closer, the latest findings are likely to generate fresh debate about the direction of Kenya's presidential contest and whether the opposition can mount a serious challenge against Ruto.
