President William Ruto and Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna have recorded equal support ratings of 31 per cent in the latest opinion poll released on November 12, 2026.

According to the findings shared through Star Infographics, the two politicians are jointly leading the presidential preference rankings ahead of the 2027 General Election.

The survey also placed Wiper Party leader Kalonzo Musyoka at 9 per cent, followed by former Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang’i with 5 per cent. Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua recorded 4 per cent, while Kiharu MP Ndindi Nyoro received 1 per cent.

Meanwhile, 15 per cent of respondents remained undecided, while another 4 per cent declined to reveal their preferred presidential candidate.

The latest figures show a significant change in Sifuna’s support, which reportedly increased from 15 per cent in June 2026 to 31 per cent in November. Ruto’s rating also rose from 24 per cent to 31 per cent over the same period.

The findings come amid increasing political activity as leaders position themselves ahead of the 2027 presidential contest. Sifuna's growing support has also placed him among the prominent figures being discussed in the country's political conversations.

According to the survey details, TIFA conducted face-to-face interviews with 2,036 respondents between October 26 and November 5, 2026. The poll covered nine regions and had a margin of error of plus or minus 2.16 percentage points.

The results have attracted attention among Kenyans, particularly because Ruto and Sifuna recorded identical support ratings despite occupying different political positions.
