New Opinion Poll Finds Ruto the Most Preferred 2022 Presidential Candidate, Raila Comes in Fourth

Deputy President William Ruto has emerged as the most preferred presidential candidate for the 2022 elections in an opinion poll published by research firm IPSOS Synovate.

National Super Alliance (Nasa) leader Raila Odinga was ranked as the fourth preferred candidate in the race for State House, IPSOS boss Tom Wolf said during a media briefing on Tuesday, where he released the poll results.

Coming in second is Ruto’s Rift Valley rival Baringo Senator Gideon Moi, who is also the Kenya Africa National Union (KANU) leader; followed by Mombasa Governor Ali Hassan Joho.

Raila came in fourth, while Machakos Governor and Maendeleo Chap Chap party leader, Alfred Mutua closed the top five most liked candidates.

Wolf said the other three Nasa co-principals namely; Moses Wetang'ula (Ford Kenya), Musalia Mudavadi (ANC) and Kalonzo Musyoka (Wiper) ranked poorly.

Wolf stated that the survey was carried out before the unity pact between President Uhuru and Raila, hence the new developments had no effects on the survey results.

    This will happen "On Mt. Kenyans' dead bodies" (so long as they still Remember the MASSACRE at KIAMBAA Church in Eldoret 10 yrs ago).

    Politics is a very dirty game / you are in for a huge surprise in 2022. Indeed, William Samoei Ruto will bcm President. Not that I support him at all, huu ndio ukweli wa mambo - tribal politics at their best!

    This IPsos Syndicate is not good for Kenya. How can they start talking about 2022 elections now. They must be idle and busy boddies working to distract the country from development. Four years is eternity in politics. This polls will have no bearing with reality in four years. Thi is the fake news Codec, American Ambassador p was talking about in Kenya. Why don't they go and talk about elections in their countries and show up in Kenya around 2021. Where are our law makers to protect Kenya from such useless and fake news that are a waste of time for Kenyans at this time. If law makers do their job we would not be in a position to entertain this fake news. There is a time for everything!!!

    They corrupted pollsters and do share same high capability of determining who the president is going to be.

    Our pollsters are considerably short on ethics. US presidential elections will be in 2020, and there is no polling. Kenyans will be in 2022 and our drunk pollsters are already at work.
