Uhuru overtakes Raila in latest poll


By Standard Digital Reporter
Nairobi, Kenya: Jubilee alliance presidential candidate Uhuru Kenyatta continues to rise against his Cord alliance rival Raila Odinga according to the latest opinion poll.
The survey, released Friday afternoon by Ipsos Synovate, shows Uhuru's ratings have surged to 44.8 per cent, beating Raila's 44.4 per cent.
The difference between the two leaders is within the statistical margin of error for the survey, so pollsters stress the two remain neck and neck.
Amani coalition's Musalia Mudavadi is at 5.2 per cent, Eagle Coalition's Peter Kenneth at 1.6 per cent and Narc-Kenya's Martha Karua at 0.8 per cent.
None of the other presidential candidates -- ARK's Abduba Dida, Safina's Paul Muite and RBK's James ole Kiyiapi -- make a significant showing in the poll.
A presidential candidate requires more than 50 per cent of the vote to win in the first round on March 4, failing which the top two candidates go head to head  in a second round on April 11.
Details to follow.
