The survey, released on Thursday, November 12, shows that Homa Bay Governor Gladys Wanga is the second most preferred candidate at 12 percent, followed by former Mombasa Governor Hassan Joho at 9 percent.
Deputy President Kithure Kindiki has emerged as the preferred running mate for President William Ruto in the 2027 General Election, commanding 55 percent support among the President's supporters, according to a new TIFA survey.
The survey, released on Thursday, November 12, shows that Homa Bay Governor Gladys Wanga is the second most preferred candidate at 12 percent, followed by former Mombasa Governor Hassan Joho at 9 percent.
ODM party leader Oburu Odinga, Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi and National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetang'ula each received 4 percent support.
According to TIFA, Kindiki's commanding lead suggests that Ruto's supporters largely favour continuity in the Deputy Presidency rather than a change of running mate ahead of the 2027 polls.
However, the pollster notes that the combined support for alternative candidates indicates some appetite for a broader political alliance.
The findings come amid ongoing discussions over a possible electoral coalition between President Ruto's United Democratic Alliance (UDA) and the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM).
TIFA notes in its report that ODM has been seeking the deputy president's position as part of negotiations over a potential 2027 coalition arrangement.
