Upcoming 2027 Kenyan elections are seeing significant shifts in political allegiances, with major parties UDA and ODM experiencing a loss of popularity in their traditional strongholds, according to a new survey.

• The survey indicates UDA has a mere 9% support in Mt Kenya, a stark contrast from its previous dominance, while the Democracy for Citizens Party (DCP) now leads the region with 33%.
• ODM's popularity has dropped from 38% to 21%, attributed partly to internal divisions following a deal with the government.
• Notable figures like MP Ndindi Nyoro are openly distancing themselves from UDA, citing disillusionment, and several ODM leaders are planning to launch a new party.
