Azimio la Umoja One Kenya Coalition presidential candidate Raila Odinga and his running mate Martha Karua popularity stands at 42 percent while Kenya Kwanza Presidential candidate William Ruto and his running mate Rigathi Gachagua follow at 38 percent, a survey released on Wednesday has shown.
According to the poll undertaken by Infotrak, Raila would garner 9.3 million votes and DP William Ruto 8.4 million votes if elections were held today.
Mr Odinga would lead in 20 counties while Ruto would lead in 16 counties , the polls have further shown.
"We conducted the poll between May 27 and 29, and had 9,000 interviews carried out in all the 47 counties. It also said 290 constituencies were covered with a margin of + or - 1," Infotrak Research CEO Angela Ambitho said.
The survey done after the selection of running mates shows that Ruto’s popularity has dropped from 42 per cent in the last month while Raila’s popularity has remained the same.
