Politrack Africa, a leading polling and research firm, has released the results of its latest survey titled “The Presidency Truth Meter.” Conducted across 11 counties in Kenya between June 1 and June 13, 2024, the poll aimed to gauge public opinion on the current political landscape and potential future scenarios.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Key Findings:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Politrack Africa study provides a comprehensive regional analysis of Kenya’s current political climate, particularly focusing on the emerging tension between the President and Deputy President. It examines the potential impact of this stalemate on the United Democratic Alliance’s (UDA) popularity in the Mount Kenya region and evaluates the Deputy President’s efforts to consolidate support in this area. The research delves into regional dynamics and how they might shift in response to the evolving political situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Survey Methodology:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The survey employed a random, multi-stage stratified sampling method proportionate to county populations, based on the 2019 Kenya Population and Housing Census. It involved 2,392 respondents from Meru, Tharaka Nithi, Embu, Nyeri, Murang’a, Kiambu, Nakuru, Nyandarua, Kirinyaga, Laikipia, and Nairobi counties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
