The poll, conducted in all 290 constituencies, found that 42 percent of respondents would vote for Raila, while 38 percent named Vice President William Ruto as their preferred candidate. Polls show Raila will get 9.3 million votes and Ruto 8.4 million.
Polls show neither candidate will declare fifty plus one victory

A total of 9,000 respondents were interviewed between May 23-27.
According to the study, Ruto’s popularity dropped to 38 percent.
