Africa-Press – Kenya. The United Democratic Alliance (UDA) has emerged as the most popular political party in the country, according to a new Infotrak poll. This comes as other parties continue to compete for influence ahead of the 2027 General Election.
The survey shows UDA commanding 23 per cent support nationally, maintaining its position at the top of the political landscape. The Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) followed closely with 19 per cent, reflecting a competitive but tightening gap between the ruling party and the long-standing opposition outfit.
Newer and smaller parties trailed at a distance, with Democracy for the Citizens Party (DCP) registering 6 per cent support. Jubilee Party, which once dominated national politics, polled at 5 per cent, while Wiper Patriotic Front closed the top five with 4 per cent.
The poll paints a picture of a fragmented political field beyond the two dominant parties, with emerging formations and older parties alike aimed at consolidating national support.
Infotrak said the survey was conducted between December 19 and 20, 2025, using a sample size of 1,000 respondents drawn from across the country to represent adult Kenyans aged 18 years and above.
The poll recorded a 99 per cent response rate, underscoring strong public engagement with political issues. Other political parties continued to register minimal support in the latest Infotrak poll, highlighting the dominance of a few major outfits in Kenya’s political landscape.
According to the survey, a cluster of parties — Chama Cha Mashinani, Maendeleo Chap Chap, Usawa Kwa Wote, Kenya National Congress (KNC), the Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP), Ford-Kenya, the Movement for Democracy, KANU, and NARC — each polled 1 per cent.
The findings suggest that while these parties remain active on the political scene, their support bases are either highly localised or yet to gain significant traction among the wider electorate.
Beyond the named parties, other minor parties collectively accounted for 3 per cent of the responses, reflecting a fragmented but marginal segment of the political field.
Notably, a significant portion of respondents — 16 per cent — said they were undecided or preferred not to disclose their party affiliation, pointing to voter indecision or disengagement.
Another 16 per cent indicated they did not support any political party, underscoring growing voter apathy or dissatisfaction with existing political formations.
The relatively high proportion of undecided and non-aligned respondents suggests that Kenya’s political landscape remains fluid, with a sizable number of voters potentially open to persuasion as parties reposition themselves ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The quantitative interviews were conducted through Computer Assisted Telephone Interviews (CATI). The survey sample achieved was 1000 to represent the universe of adult Kenyans who were 18 years and above at the time of the survey.
The sampling frame was designed using Population Proportionate to size (PPS) guided by the 2019 Census. Infotrak said the margin of error was +/- 3.10 percent at 95 percent degree of confidence. The response rate was at 99 per cent.
“Where the achieved interviews differed slightly from the intended sampled proportions per demographic group, the dataset was weighted to correct for over or under sampling thus ensuring the sample was proportionately representative of the target population,” the firm said.
The survey covered all the 47 counties and regions of Kenya. To ensure national representativeness, the distribution of the survey sample across the regions was proportionately allocated. Data was processed and analyzed using SPSS 27 statistical software due to its high accuracy and reliability.
