Bumula Member of Parliament Jack Wamboka has stated that Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna commands over 55 percent support across Kenya.
Describing the recent TIFA Research opinion poll showing a 31 percent tie between Sifuna and President William Ruto as proof that citizens have made up their minds ahead of the 2027 general election.
According to Wamboka, the survey findings reflect growing momentum behind the Linda Mwananchi political movement, which he maintains is ready for the upcoming electoral contest.
Rallying supporters under the slogans Linda Mwananchi and Linda Kenya, the legislator asserted that grassroots sentiment is shifting significantly in favor of Sifuna’s political camp.
The remarks follow the release of a national survey by TIFA Research on November 12, 2026. In the scientific poll, both President Ruto and Senator Sifuna recorded 31 percent support as preferred presidential candidates.
TIFA Research noted that Sifuna’s rating represents a notable surge from earlier surveys in 2026, where he stood at 10 percent in May and 15 percent in July.
Meanwhile, the poll indicated declining individual support for other opposition figures such as Kalonzo Musyoka and Fred Matiang’i, alongside a drop in undecided voters to 15 percent.
While Wamboka contends that Sifuna’s actual nationwide standing exceeds 55 percent, TIFA Research’s data attributes the 31 percent tie to shifting voter alignments and Sifuna’s strong performance in urban centers such as Nairobi.
Political analysts observing the survey also highlight that the 2027 race remains fluid, with coalition negotiations and voter consolidation expected to play decisive roles in shaping final electoral outcomes.
