Gachagua Suffers Major Setback as TIFA Poll Reveals Sharp Drop in 2027 Presidential Support

A new opinion poll by TIFA Research has revealed a decline in former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua’s popularity as a possible candidate in Kenya’s 2027 presidential election.

According to the survey, support for Gachagua as the country’s next president has dropped from 9 per cent in May 2026 to just 4 per cent. The latest figures could raise concerns about his political strength as the country prepares for the next General Election.

Gachagua, who is the leader of the Democracy for the Citizens Party (DCP), has been working to establish himself as one of the leading voices in Kenya’s opposition. He has frequently criticised President William Ruto’s government while advocating for a change in leadership.

Through political meetings, rallies and engagements with leaders from different regions, Gachagua has continued efforts to expand his party’s influence and attract more supporters.

Despite these activities, the latest TIFA Research findings indicate that his appeal among voters may have weakened in recent months.

The decline could create difficulties for his presidential ambitions, particularly as other opposition leaders prepare to compete for the country’s highest political office. The growing number of potential contenders is expected to make the battle for nationwide support more challenging.

With the 2027 General Election approaching, political parties and influential figures are already strengthening their networks and exploring strategies to secure victory.

Nevertheless, opinion polls only reflect public opinion at the time they are conducted and should not be considered a definite indication of election results.

Gachagua’s ability to regain public confidence and expand his support base could therefore play an important role in determining his political prospects ahead of the 2027 presidential contest.
