Ruto leads 2022 presidential polls as Raila comes fourth: IPSOS

Deputy President William Ruto has emerged as the most preferred candidate for the 2022 elections, research firm IPSOS has said.

Opposition leader Raila Odinga was ranked a distant fourth, IPSOS lead researcher Tom Wolf said during a press briefing on Tuesday.

He added that the other three co-principals of the National Super Alliance (NASA): Moses Wetangula, Musalia Mudavadi and Kalonzo Musyoka did not rank highly.

Coming in second was Mr. Ruto’s closest rival Gideon Moi (Baringo Senator) followed by Hassan Joho (Mombasa Governor), the opinion poll revealed.

In last place was Machakos Governor Alfred Mutua.

Mr. Wolf however noted that the survey was conducted before the Uhuru-Raila  “handshake” hence it could not have affected the results.
