A new opinion poll by Politrack Africa reveals Ambassador Professor Julius Bitok as the frontrunner in the Uasin Gishu gubernatorial race ahead of the 2027 General Election.
The survey, conducted among 6,175 respondents countywide, places Bitok, a United Democratic Alliance (UDA) candidate, in the lead with 39.5% support.
Polling Results
- Julius Bitok (UDA): 39.5%
- Incumbent Governor Jonathan Bii (UDA): 28.6%
- Businessman Zedekiah Buzeki (UDA): 17.8%
- Gideon Kingetich: 3.7%
- David Kemei Rotuk: 2.3%
- Undecided voters: 7.5%
- Other candidates combined: 0.7%
The poll highlights a competitive three-way contest within UDA, with Bitok holding an 11-point lead over the sitting governor. However, the 7.5% undecided voters could still influence the race as campaigns intensify toward the August 2027 elections.
Bitok's emergence as the leading candidate signals a potential shift in the county's political landscape, challenging the incumbent's bid for re-election. Businessman Zedekiah Buzeki trails in third but remains a notable contender.
The margin of error for the poll is ±2.0% at a 95% confidence level. Further details on the polling methodology and data collection period were not disclosed.
