Deputy President Kithure Kindiki has emerged as the preferred running mate for President William Ruto among his supporters ahead of the 2027 General Election, according to a new TIFA Research poll.
The findings suggest that Ruto’s support base favours retaining Kindiki as his deputy should the President seek a second term.
The running mate question is expected to feature prominently in political negotiations ahead of the 2027 polls, particularly as leaders allied to the broad-based government continue to position themselves for influential roles in the next administration.
The survey highlights Kindiki’s standing within Ruto’s political camp as discussions over the composition of a possible re-election ticket continue.
