Most popular coalition in Kenya

Azimio la Umoja is still the most popular coalition in the country.

According to a TIFA poll released on Friday, July 29, Azimio’s popularity in the country is at 47 per cent.

Deputy President William Ruto’s Kenya Kwanza Alliance popularity stood at 42 per cent up from 35 per cent in June.

“Looking at the distribution of support for these coalitions across the country, it is evident that Azimio’s highest support is found in Raila Odinga’s home area of Nyanza, even as it receives considerable support in Coast, Lower Eastern and Nairobi.

“Similarly, the Kenya Kwanza Alliance is most popular in its leader’s backyard of Central Rift and in Mount Kenya,” TIFA said.
