The reported findings place Kalonzo ahead of the other named opposition figures in the survey, as political leaders and their supporters continue positioning themselves ahead of the next presidential election.
The question of who should carry the opposition's presidential ticket remains an important issue as different political formations explore possible alliances and strategies for the 2027 contest.
Kalonzo, a former Vice President and long-serving opposition politician, has remained among the figures associated with efforts to build a united opposition front.
Sifuna's showing also places the Nairobi Senator among the political figures attracting attention in discussions surrounding the opposition's future leadership.
Matiang'i, Gachagua and Nyoro are also among the personalities whose names have featured in conversations about the country's evolving political landscape.
The reported percentages account for 97 per cent of responses, leaving three percentage points unaccounted for in the figures provided.
As the 2027 General Election approaches, the opposition's ability to agree on a common presidential candidate and establish a united political platform is likely to remain a key subject of national political debate.
The poll figures should be considered an indication of reported voter preferences at the time of the survey and not a prediction of the eventual outcome of the 2027 General Election.
