The findings highlight a dramatic leap in his national popularity ratings, underscoring growing momentum among the country’s youth.
According to the latest survey, Senator Sifuna’s presidential preference rating jumped to 15%, up from 10% in the previous release.

Sifuna’s energetic opposition stance and outspoken defense of public interests—particularly through his “Linda Mwananchi” stance—have struck a strong chord with Gen Z and millennial voters who are seeking fresh leadership.
The survey underscores a changing political landscape ahead of the next general election. Observers note that if Sifuna decides to enter the presidential arena formally, his ability to mobilize the youth vote could disrupt traditional voting blocs and position him as a main contender for the country’s top job.
