Deputy President Kithure Kindiki leads the race to be Ruto's 2027 running mate, a TIFA Research poll released on Thursday shows. Homa Bay Governor Gladys Wanga is second with 12 per cent, and Hassan Joho is third with 9 per cent.
Deputy President Kithure Kindiki holds a clear lead in the race to be President William Ruto's running mate in 2027, Capital FM reported. A TIFA Research poll released on Thursday found that 55 per cent of Ruto's supporters want Kindiki to keep the job.
Homa Bay Governor Gladys Wanga came second with 12 per cent. Hassan Joho followed with 9 per cent. Oburu Odinga, Musalia Mudavadi and Moses Wetangula each got 4 per cent. That puts Kindiki more than four times ahead of Wanga, his closest rival in the survey.
TIFA said Ruto's supporters largely favour keeping the current deputy president. It added that the combined support for the other names points to some interest in widening the political coalition.
The survey covered only supporters of President Ruto. It did not measure the views of the wider electorate.
