William Ruto and Edwin Sifuna share the lead in TIFA’s November 2026 presidential preference rankings.
President William Ruto and Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna lead the November 2026 rankings, while 15 per cent of respondents remain undecided.
President William Ruto and Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna share the lead in the latest TIFA presidential poll. Each commands support from 31 per cent of respondents in the November 2026 findings.
Ruto’s rating has risen from 18 per cent in August 2022, an increase of 13 percentage points. Meanwhile, Sifuna has moved from previously negligible support to match the president in the preference rankings.
TIFA presidential poll places Kalonzo third
Former Vice President Kalonzo Musyoka follows the two leaders with nine per cent support. Former Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang’i comes next at five per cent, while former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua registers four per cent.
Further down the rankings, Kiharu MP Ndindi Nyoro attracts one per cent support. The poll also records one per cent for other candidates.
However, 15 per cent of respondents remain undecided about their preferred presidential candidate. That share exceeds the support recorded for any individual contender outside the leading pair.
The undecided group therefore offers presidential hopefuls an opportunity to build support ahead of the next election. Ruto and Sifuna currently hold a 22-percentage-point lead over Kalonzo, their nearest challenger in the survey.
