Latest Poll Reveals the Most Preferred Running Mate for President Ruto in 2027 — Details

Kirinyaga Governor Anne Waiguru has emerged as the most preferred female candidate to become President William Ruto’s running mate in the 2027 General Election, according to poll results shared by K24 Updates.

The poll places Waiguru at 44.6%, putting her ahead of other women whose names may feature in discussions about Ruto’s possible running mate.

The findings come as political leaders continue to position themselves ahead of the August 2027 elections. Questions about the presidential ticket have become part of the wider debate as parties and leaders work to strengthen their support across different regions.

Waiguru has remained an influential figure in the ruling political camp. Before becoming Kirinyaga governor, she served as Cabinet Secretary for Devolution under former President Uhuru Kenyatta. Her experience in government and her current position in county leadership have kept her in national political discussions.

However, the poll result does not mean that Waiguru has been officially selected as Ruto’s running mate. The final decision will depend on political consultations, coalition arrangements and the President’s eventual choice.

Ruto is expected to face competition from opposition leaders seeking to unite voters ahead of the next election. This has increased attention on the people who could join presidential candidates on their respective tickets.

The question of a female running mate is also important because political parties often consider regional balance, voter support and the ability to work with different groups when choosing their candidates.

Waiguru’s reported 44.6% score gives her a notable position in the poll, but the full details, including the number of respondents, the dates of the survey and the other candidates included, are necessary to understand how widely the findings represent Kenyan voters.

As the 2027 election approaches, more leaders are likely to attract attention as possible running mates.

For now, Waiguru’s position in the reported poll adds to the growing discussion about who could join Ruto on the presidential ticket.

Will Waiguru eventually emerge as Ruto’s running mate, or will another female leader take the position?
