TIFA Research reported that when respondents aligned with DCP were asked who they would prefer to win the 2027 presidential election, 34 percent selected Senator Sifuna, compared to 25 percent who favored Gachagua.
The survey data reflects fluid voter preferences across opposition-leaning parties as various political leaders engage in consultations over a potential joint presidential lineup ahead of the next general election.
Nationally, TIFA’s November 2026 report placed both President William Ruto and Senator Sifuna at 31 percent support each, while Wiper party leader Kalonzo Musyoka recorded nine percent, former Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang’i stood at five percent, and Gachagua registered four percent.
The findings come amid ongoing political interactions between the two opposition figures, including their October 20 consultative meeting at Gachagua’s Wamunyoro residence in Nyeri County and joint public appearances.
While Gachagua has stated that the Mount Kenya region will carefully evaluate potential political partners based on regional interests and commitments before endorsing a flagbearer, he has previously indicated a willingness to collaborate with Sifuna within a broader opposition framework.
TIFA Research noted that the survey results demonstrate how cross-regional engagements and shifting party alignments—where ODM stands at 20 percent, UDA at 17 percent, and DCP at 12 percent—continue to shape voter considerations ahead of 2027.
