President Uhuru Kenyatta and opposition chief Raila Odinga are in a tight race for the presidency with a new poll suggesting that the two front runners are separated by just five percentage points.

The Infotrak poll shows Kenyatta could win by 48 per cent against Odinga’s 43 per cent if elections are held today. This will push voting to a second round unless one of them convinces the 8 per cent of the voters who are still undecided with just 38 days left to the General Election.
