The presidential election race is still close in Nairobi with Azimio candidate Raila Odinga leading at 50 per cent support and DP William Ruto with 41 per cent, according to the latest Radio Africa survey.

Last month, a Radio Africa poll showed Raila at 52 percent support in Nairobi compared to 29.1 per cent for Ruto. If Ruto is closing the gap in Nairobi, as appears to be the case, that indicates that the August 9 presidential election will be very close indeed.

In the new poll, Prof George Wajackoyah has reached five per cent support, up from 3.2 per cent, a very high level for a political newcomer. Wajackoyah's Roots Party has promised to legalise bhang if he is elected president.
