In the poll released on June 18, Raila had 39 percent support of those polled while Ruto had 35 percent.

Tom Wolf, the Tifa lead researcher, attributed the changes to reduction in the number of undecided voters.

The poll had a +/- 2.34 margin of error.

The survey conducted between June 25 to June 30 had 1533 respondents from nine regions across the country.
