Cord co-principal Kalonzo Musyoka has accused the Jubilee government of allegedly sponsoring opinion poll stars to conduct opinion polls and make statistics in their favour.
While rubbishing the recent opinion poll released by Ipos Synovate indicating that President Uhuru Kenyatta has a support base of 68 per cent, Kalonzo said that Jubilee government was using pollsters to gain popularity.
The former Vice President said that opinion poll-stars have lost integrity and are favoring certain political sides.
“It is clear that Jubilee government is using opinion pollsters to gain political relevance,” said Kalonzo during an Interview on NTV on Sunday night.
Musyoka wondered why opinion polls claim that Uhuru is the most preferred leader when the country was heading in the wrong side.
The cord co-principal termed as fake the recent opinion poll by Ipsos Synovate saying that it is meant to make Kenyans believe that Jubilee government is working when it is not.
He accused Jubilee of developing tricks to dupe Kenyans and woe support. “These people know that Kenyans have lost faith in them and want to gain relevance as we head to the polls,” he said.
The former VP asked pollsters to remain objective and do their research professionally.
A recent opinion poll by Ipsos released last week showed that President Uhuru has a 68 percent support of Kenyans compared to Raila Odinga’s 32 per cent.
The statistics by the pollster has been rubbished by other Cord leaders who claimed that t is baseless and which has no facts.
However, a section of leaders allied to Jubilee believe that the opinion poll by Ipsos is factual.
The leaders claim that Jubilee government and especially President Kenyatta has the majority support of Kenyans ahead of the 2017 polls.
Kikuyu MP Kimani Ichung'wa on Saturday supported the poll by Ipsos saying that it a true reflection on the ground adding that Kenyans are in support of President Uhuru Kenyatta and Jubilee government.
