UDA most popular party – Survey
United Democratic Alliance (UDA) remains the most popular political party in Kenya
United Democratic Alliance (UDA) remains the most popular political party in Kenya, according to a new survey by Trends and Insights for Africa (TIFA).
The poll shows that 16 per cent of Kenyans identify with UDA, placing it ahead of Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) at 13 per cent and Democratic Congress Party (DCP) at 9 per cent.
The Azimio Coalition follows with 5 per cent support, while Wiper Democratic Movement stands at 4 per cent.
However, the survey also reveals that support for UDA is only half the proportion of Kenyans who say they do not feel aligned to any political party at all, which stands at 31 per cent.
A further 10 per cent of respondents said they were undecided.
According to TIFA, this figure, with four in ten Kenyans currently expressing no support for any party, is the highest ever recorded since the return of multiparty political polling in the 1990s.

Other parties and coalitions received smaller shares, including Kenya Kwanza Alliance (3 per cent), Jubilee (3 per cent), Ford-Kenya (1 per cent), DAP-Kenya (1 per cent), RTA (2 per cent) and other minor parties (2 per cent).
TIFA notes that the combined support for UDA, ODM, and Ford-Kenya, parties most closely associated with the ruling coalition, adds up to less than one-third of Kenyans (30 per cent).
The research firm observes that how these numbers shift as the country approaches the 2027 General Election will be critical, with upcoming by-elections in November expected to provide early indications of voter preferences.
