“Ruto is likely to pick up a first-round victory over his competitor based on the data. Nearly half of those polled nationwide would prefer William Ruto as president today.

“The changes seen in this poll are slight increases for William Ruto and Raila Odinga and a slight drop in the number of undecided voters,” the IRIS poll read.
