“Ground Iko Different” Mt Kenya Politician Reacts After Opinion Poll Puts Sifuna And Ruto Same

A political aspirant seeking the Njoro parliamentary seat on a PPK ticket has questioned the credibility of recent opinion polls, arguing that the findings do not accurately reflect the political situation on the ground.

Speaking during a television interview, the aspirant expressed doubts about the consistency of figures released by various research firms, suggesting that the surveys may not capture the true feelings of ordinary Kenyans.

The politician argued that defeating a sitting government in opinion polls appears almost impossible, raising concerns about whether the published figures accurately represent voters’ preferences.

The aspirant further pointed to what he described as a significant gap between the poll results and the feedback he receives from residents, insisting that the political mood among voters tells a different story.

His remarks come shortly after TIFA Research released a survey placing President William Ruto and Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna at 31 per cent each in the 2027 presidential race.

The findings also indicated changing fortunes among opposition figures, including Kalonzo Musyoka and former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua.

However, the Njoro aspirant maintained that political realities on the ground cannot always be captured through statistical surveys.

His remarks have added to the growing debate over opinion polls as political activities intensify ahead of the 2027 General Election.
