Kalonzo, Matiang’i lose ground as 2027 presidential race takes shape
The Maggie Ireri led firm says Kalonzo's support has fallen to nine per cent in November 2026 from a high of 25 per cent recorded in November 2025.
The latest TIFA Research opinion poll reveals a significant decline in popularity for Wiper Party Leader Kalonzo Musyoka and Jubilee Party Presidential aspirant Fred Matiang’i as the 2027 presidential race begins to take shape. Musyoka's support has plummeted from 25% in November 2025 to just 9% in November 2026, while Matiang’i's rating has dropped from 32% in August 2022 to an even more alarming 5%.
Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has also seen a decline, with his support falling from 9% in May 2026 to 4% in the latest survey. The poll further indicates that Kiharu MP Ndindi Nyoro and other presidential hopefuls have garnered only 1% each. With 15% of undecided voters remaining, the eventual direction of the presidential contest remains uncertain.
