A new poll by the Politrack Research Team has placed President William Ruto ahead of his rivals in presidential preference, with Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna emerging as the second most preferred candidate.
The survey, conducted between September 15 and 25, 2026, asked respondents which presidential candidate they would vote for at the time.
Ruto received 45.1 per cent of the responses, followed by Sifuna with 19.6 per cent and Kalonzo at 10.3 per cent.
Former Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang’i polled 7.2 per cent, while former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua garnered 6.0 per cent.
The poll placed 8.4 per cent of respondents as undecided, making them the largest group outside the candidates who expressed a preference.
