  "summary": "A recent TIFA Research survey has revealed that Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna has gained more popularity than former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua among supporters of the Democracy for the Citizens Party (DCP), according to a poll conducted ahead of the 2027 presidential election. The survey indicates that 34% of DCP supporters prefer Sifuna as the winner, compared to 25% who back Gachagua. This shows Sifuna's growing appeal beyond his Linda Mwananchi base, while Gachagua continues to position himself as a leading opposition figure challenging President William Ruto. The poll also reveals varying presidential preferences among supporters of other parties, with Ruto leading among Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) supporters, Matiang'i among Jubilee supporters, and Ruto enjoying the backing of the majority of United Democratic Alliance (UDA) supporters.",
