Research firms still lack the courage to show openly that Sifuna has actually pulled away and is way ahead of Ruto in the real polling numbers (thankfully, their staff generously leak the real data, so the truth is know). Be that as it may, polls showing H.E. @edwinsifuna and @WilliamsRuto tied at 31% begin to show the picture of what lies ahead. You see; 1. The opposition is yet to pick its joint candidate, and if it's Sifuna, that number and momentum will leave Ruto seeing dust. 2. Sifuna's new movement is just setting up. When the powerful grassroots volunteer networks growing in LMM become a force by January, pollsters won't have room to undedstate Sifuna numbers. Remember the Obama grassroots networks? They won the election for him in 2008. 3. Sifuna is yet to launch a presidential campaign. So there are many undecided folks and supporters of other candidates who actually say "for now, I'm with xyz, but after Sifuna declares, I'll switch". So, even if polling firms massage Ruto numbers and hide the public disenchantment with his regime (I'd be shocked if Ruto can score higher than 15% in a real poll), the surge of Sifuna tells a simple story; the nation has picked its preferred next president and it can't be hidden anymore. Meanwhile, leaders of envelope parties and self entitled presidential candidates must now know that when it comes to who sits atop any ticket, the country itself has made the decision. Let's discuss who will be DP. Because science is not an orange that you can slice into sizes to fit everyone's tastes.
