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.
