Ruto is leading Raila by 59% in latest NIS poll - Senator Isaac Mwaura
Nominated Senator Isaac Mwaura has claimed a recent poll by the National Intelligence Service (NIS) indicates that Deputy President William Ruto is the leading presidential candidate in the country, less than five months to the general election.
Speaking during an interview on Citizen TV, Monday, March 21, 2022, Mwaura alleged that a poll by NIS ranked DP Ruto as the leading presidential candidate with 59% followed by Odinga at 32%.
According to Mwaura, the difference in preference between Ruto and Odinga is not close as is being reported by a section of pollsters and the media.
“We are going to defeat you people. The opinion polls are showing, those that you are talking about NIS, we are actually 59%, you are 32. You are stuck there. They (Azimio) are worried because they are losing on all fronts,” Mwaura alleged.
Explaining how he got access to the alleged ratings, Senator Mwaura claimed the numbers are part of intelligence reports issued by NIS.

Meanwhile, a recent opinion poll released by the Radio Africa Group indicated that Odinga had made up ground and is slightly ahead of DP Ruto in the presidential race.
According to the Radio Africa poll, 47.4 per cent of respondents said they would vote for Raila while 43.4 per cent said they’ll vote for DP Ruto.
Raila’s Rating was a 12.3% percent improvement from February where he had 35.1% percent. The DP on the other hand dropped by 4% as he had previously polled at 47.4%.
The numbers are expected to change regularly as we head closer to the polls and as different coalitions acquire welcome defectors from various parties.
One key factor that is expected to change the numbers drastically is the choice of running mates by the different presidential candidates.
