With just 10 days to the general elections, the Azimio la Umoja One Kenya presidential aspirant is followed closely by Deputy President William Ruto who has been polled at 44.4 per cent.
Moreover, George Wajackoyah of Roots party polled at 1.8 per cent while David Mwaure of Agano party trailed at 0.1 per cent.
TIFA Lead Researcher Tom Wolf released the survey on Friday, July 29.
Nevertheless, the survey showed that 5.2 per cent of the respondents were still undecided.
Likewise, Wolf noted that, despite Odinga having more national support, there is a likelihood that there will not be a winner in the first round.
“The presence of Wajackoyah and Mwaure raises the possibility that neither Odinga nor Ruto will be able to secure a first-round win,” he stated.
Likewise, the TIFA poll conducted between 21st and July 26, 2022, revealed that Raila – Karua ticket is supported by more men than women at 51 per cent and 42 per cent respectively.
