Nandi Senator Kiprotich Cherargei has welcomed new findings by Tifa Research indicating a sharp rise in public support for Kenya’s broad-based government, describing the results as a reflection of growing national approval for political cooperation at the top levels of leadership.
Tifa Research reported that support for the broad-based government increased from 22 per cent in May to 44 per cent in November, marking a notable shift in public sentiment over a six-month period.
The poll results were released this week and shared widely on social media.
Reacting on X, Cherargei said the figures demonstrated increasing public acceptance of the political arrangement bringing together President William Ruto and former Prime Minister Raila Odinga.
He framed the partnership as a unifying initiative aimed at stabilising the country and fostering inclusive governance.
“The acceptance and endorsement by Kenyans is a clear indication that the hearts of Kenyans are in broad-based government to stay,” Cherargei wrote.
He added that the cooperation between the two leaders was grounded in a shared commitment to national unity.
The broad-based government emerged following political engagements between the ruling administration and sections of the opposition, a move that marked a departure from Kenya’s traditionally adversarial post-election politics.
The arrangement has since featured prominently in parliamentary cooperation and public discourse on governance.
Cherargei further linked the polling numbers to future political prospects, stating that the formation would play a central role in shaping Kenya’s politics ahead of the 2027 general election.
He described the alliance as a powerful political force capable of redefining the country’s electoral landscape.
“In 2027, this broad-based formation shall be the political machinery of our times that will change Kenya’s political landscape forever,” he said in the post.
Tifa Research did not, in the released statement, outline the specific drivers behind the increase in public support.
The institution, however, is known for conducting nationwide opinion polls on political and governance issues.
The poll and Cherargei’s remarks add to ongoing national conversations about the impact and durability of cross-party cooperation in Kenya’s governance.
As the country moves closer to the next election cycle, public attitudes toward the broad-based government are likely to remain a subject of close attention.
