Support for the broad-based government arrangement between President William Ruto and the late former Prime Minister Raila Odinga has sharply declined in the months following Raila’s death, with a new TIFA survey revealing growing public discontent, deepening ODM divisions and shifting political loyalties ahead of the 2027 General Election.

According to the survey was conducted between May 2 and May 11 2026, 56 per cent of Kenyans now oppose the Broad-Based Government (BBG), compared to just 30 per cent who support it.

The figures mark a significant reversal from November 2025, when support for the BBG stood at 44 per cent against 48 per cent opposition.
