In compliance with the law, a flurry of opinion poll results was released last week by different pollsters including Center for African progress (CAP), Ipsos, Nation Media and Infotrack. The law dictates surveys cannot be published five days before the elections.

In all the polls, Azimio candidate Raila Odinga is leading Kenya Kwanza's William Ruto with a gap ranging between 6 per cent and 8 per cent points.
