Raila still the man to beat – poll

The polls further showed that Odinga is popular in all provinces except in Rift Valley and Central and even beats Mudavadi in Western, here the Cord Coalition has 46 percent popularity against Amani’s 29 percent.

Wolf clarified that the poll was done before Mudavadi, Kenneth and Karua had picked their running mates.

Mudavadi picked former Ndaragwa MP Jeremiah Kioni as his running mate while Karua settled on former East African Legislative Assembly (EALA) legislator Augustine Lotodo.

Kenneth picked his former Starehe Boys’ Centre school mate Ronnie Asumba as his partner for the March 4 poll.

The poll however immediately drew sharp criticism from Mudavadi’s Amani Coalition.

His private secretary Kibisu Kabatesi said the polls were a recipe of chaos because of creating perceptions.

“Whereas you would assume that a scientific poll would place all the contestants on a level pedestal, pollsters are roller costing the public into hardened perceptions that will cost this country dearly should their assumed leaders fail to succeed the way pollsters want to project them,” argued Kabatesi.

He describes the poll as empty electoral engineering that is divorced from the reality.

“The Synovate poll deliberately and defectively uses faulty sampling weighed in favour of the so-called two horses at the expense of other presidential contestants.”

“The net result is that pollsters are setting up Kenyans for post-elections conflict over elections results,” he stated.

The poll placed Mudavadi at a popularity rating of 5 percent compared to Uhuru’s 40pc and Odinga’s 46 percent.
