President William Ruto and Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna have tied at 31% in the latest presidential preference ratings, according to findings attributed to TIFA Research in November 2026.
The reported findings place the two politicians at the same level of public support, with former Vice President Kalonzo Musyoka trailing at 9%, followed by former Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang’i at 5%.
Ruto’s Presidential Support Rises to 31%
President William Ruto is reported to have increased his presidential preference rating from 18% in August 2022 to 31% in the November 2026 poll.
The latest figure puts him level with Sifuna, who has recorded a similar 31% rating. The findings indicate a change in the presidential preference figures, although the poll’s methodology and sample details are needed to assess the significance of the reported movement.
Edwin Sifuna Matches Ruto in Presidential Ratings
Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna has recorded 31% in the latest findings, emerging from previously negligible support to match the President.
His rating places him alongside Ruto in the poll, although the findings alone do not establish how either politician would perform in an actual election.
Kalonzo, Matiang’i and Gachagua Trail in the Poll
Former Vice President Kalonzo Musyoka has registered 9%, while former Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang’i follows with 5%.
Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has recorded 4%. Kiharu MP Ndindi Nyoro and other presidential hopefuls each attracted 1% support.
15% of Kenyans Yet to Decide on Presidential Preference
The poll indicates that 15% of respondents remain undecided about their preferred presidential candidate.
The undecided respondents represent a section of the surveyed population whose preferences had not been settled at the time of the poll.
However, the findings should be interpreted alongside the poll’s sample size, geographical coverage, margin of error and fieldwork dates.
