President William Ruto has taken the highest share of voter preference in a new Politrack Research Team survey, registering 45.1 per cent as the country heads towards the 2027 General Election.
Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna follows at 19.6 per cent, while Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka has 10.3 per cent. Former Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang’i polled 7.2 per cent, with former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua at 6.0 per cent.
The survey shows that 8.4 per cent of respondents remain undecided on their preferred presidential candidate.
Other candidates recorded lower levels of support, with Prof George Wajackoyah at 1.1 per cent, Martha Karua and former Chief Justice David Maraga at 0.8 per cent each, Siaya Governor James Orengo at 0.4 per cent and businessman Jimmy Wanjigi at 0.3 per cent.
Politrack said the survey was conducted between September 15 and 25, 2026, targeting potential voters across the country. A total of 20,419 respondents participated through a text-based technology platform.
The research team reported a 95 per cent confidence level and a margin of error of plus or minus three percentage points.
At party level, the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) recorded 32 per cent support, followed by the Democracy for Citizens Party (DCP) at 11.7 per cent and the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) at 10.6 per cent.
Jubilee stood at 6.9 per cent, Wiper at 5.6 per cent, Kenya Kwanza at 3.5 per cent and Azimio at 3.2 per cent.
The findings provide a snapshot of voter preferences during the survey period and do not constitute an election result. With the 2027 polls still ahead, presidential aspirants and political parties are expected to continue mobilising support and building alliances ahead of the electoral contest.
