The reported findings show a significant rise in Sifuna’s popularity. He reportedly recorded zero support in TIFA surveys conducted between 2022 and late 2025 before rising to 10 per cent in May 2026, 15 per cent in June and 31 per cent in the latest survey.
President Ruto's support also increased, rising from 18 per cent in August 2022 to 31 per cent in November 2026.
Former Vice-President Kalonzo Musyoka follows with nine per cent, while former Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang’i records five per cent. Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has four per cent support.
The survey further indicates that 15 per cent of respondents remain undecided, while four per cent declined to disclose their preferred candidate.
However, other published surveys have produced different results. A Politrack Research Team survey reported by The Star on October 1 placed Ruto at 45.1 per cent and Sifuna at 19.6 per cent. The survey involved 20,419 respondents.
Similarly, an Infotrak survey published by Capital FM on July 13 identified Sifuna as the most popular political figure among Gen Z voters, although Ruto maintained the overall presidential preference lead at 32 per cent.
The differing findings highlight the importance of considering polling dates, methodology and respondent groups when assessing political popularity.
With the 2027 election approaching, Sifuna's reported rise adds a new dimension to discussions about opposition leadership and the presidential contest.https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1KvtCZ7HDB/
