Poll: Sifuna emerges as top opposition choice

The Nairobi senator polled at 19.6 per cent, ahead of Kalonzo Musyoka at 10.3 per cent.

Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna has emerged as the leading opposition presidential aspirant in the latest Politrack Research Team survey.

President William Ruto, however, maintains a commanding lead in the overall presidential preference race.

The survey, conducted between September 15 and 25, 2026, places Ruto at 45.1 per cent, followed by Sifuna at 19.6 per cent.

Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka comes third with 10.3 per cent, while 8.4 per cent of respondents are undecided. Fred Matiang’i records 7.2 per cent, followed by Rigathi Gachagua at 6.0 per cent.

The figures make Sifuna the highest-rated opposition aspirant in the poll, with his 19.6 per cent support nearly double Kalonzo’s 10.3 per cent.
