A recent opinion poll by TIFA indicates that Deputy President Prof Kithure Kindiki is the most preferred choice to be President William Ruto's running mate in the upcoming elections. The poll shows Prof Kindiki with a commanding 59 percent support.

• Prof Kithure Kindiki leads with 59 percent of the vote in the latest TIFA poll for President Ruto's running mate.
• Other contenders, including Gladys Wanga (12 percent), Dr Oburu Oginga (3 percent), and Hassan Joho (1 percent), trail significantly.
• Despite strong backing, Prof Kindiki faces the challenge of consolidating the Mount Kenya vote, while ODM continues to push for the Deputy President position in potential UDA pact negotiations.
