The findings of a less-publicised survey released earlier this week ranked the United Democratic Alliance (UDA), the principal partner in President William Ruto’s ruling Kenya Kwanza Alliance coalition, as the most popular political party in Kenya.
With 34 percent of the respondents in the survey by pollster TIFA Research identifying with the Ruto-led UDA, the party’s popularity was more than twice that of its closest rival, the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) of former prime minister Raila Odinga.
