President Kenyatta's Jubilee Party Still the Most Popular Political Outfit in the Country

President Uhuru Kenyatta's Jubilee party is still the most popular political outfit in the country ahead of opposition coalition National Super Alliance (Nasa).

In the latest opinion poll released by Ipsos, the ruling party increased its lead over Nasa from nine per cent in October 2017 to 11 per cent.

Results of the study released by Ipsos head Tom Wolf on Friday shows that 49 per cent of the respondents identified themselves with Jubilee compared to 37 percent who felt close to Nasa.

2,003 respondents from 45 counties were interviewed during the pollster between March 4th and 12th.

“Ever since the 2013 election, most Kenyans have been identifying with Jubilee who have been enjoying a small but increasing margin over Nasa,” he observed.

Wolf, however, said that the Raila-led coalition gained a bit of ground since April 2017 after it announced its presidential candidate.

“As we approached the election last year, the gap narrowed especially after Nasa named its presidential candidate in April ahead of the August 8 General Election,” he said.
