President Uhuru Kenyatta is likely to beat Opposition candidate Raila Odinga in the race to State House if 2013's voting trend is maintained.
According to an analysis, Uhuru will get 1.2 million votes more than Raila.
This will also see the Jubilee candidate comfortably swing to power for a second term without a run-off. It will be a 52.2% surpassing the 50% plus one constitutional threshold.
The projection, is howerver, purely pegged on 2013's voting patterns assuming it remains constant.
A piece by the Star, has analysed the percentages the two presidential candidates scored in each region in 2013 and used it to calculate what each would scoop considering the new number of voters.
For this projection to work, voter turnout in the 47 counties and voting pattern must repeat itself on August 8.
This, pundits say, is no mean feat. Politics is dynamic and many changes have been witnessed.With political realignment, different voting patterns might be witnessed.
