Poll Shows Presidential Run-off Inevitable If Elections Were Held Today

A new Infotrak poll indicates that a presidential run-off is inevitable in Kenya if elections were held today, as no candidate is projected to secure over 50% of the vote required for an outright win. The same poll suggests Deputy President Prof. Kindiki is the most favoured running mate for President Ruto in the 2027 election, potentially solidifying his position. Separately, candidates for the Ol Kalou parliamentary by-election delivered their final campaign submissions yesterday, marking the conclusion of their campaigns amid escalating political tensions in the region.
