Caleb Amisi Predicts 2027 Presidential Run-Off After Poll Places Ruto at 32 Per Cent

"Saboti Member of Parliament Caleb Amisi has predicted that Kenya's 2027 presidential election will proceed to a run-off, arguing that the latest opinion poll showing President William Ruto leading with 32 per cent support also indicates that the majority of Kenyans remain unconvinced by his administration"

Reacting to the findings of the latest Infotrak survey, Amisi said the figures suggest President Ruto is far from securing an outright first-round victory and urged opposition leaders to put aside personal ambitions and unite behind a single candidate.

“If Ruto is rating at 32%, it means 68% of Kenyans do not want him. And it will not change,” Amisi said in a statement shared on his official X account on Tuesday, July 14, 2026.

“Simple. Most opposition leaders we have today are too egoistic to endorse others,” he added.

The outspoken legislator warned that divisions within the opposition could hand President Ruto an easier path to re-election despite growing public dissatisfaction with the government.

“2027 is a run-off, my people. I wish we could avoid this trap by all means necessary. Join forces!” Amisi stated.

Amisi also reaffirmed his support for Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna, saying the country needs a new generation of leaders capable of inspiring young voters, many of whom have expressed frustration with Kenya's traditional political class.

“I have been vouching for Sifuna and if not Sifuna, at least someone new. Kenyans are tired of the same faces year in, year out,” he said.
