The majority of Kenyans oppose the continuing anti-government protests being organised by the Azimio la Umoja , according to a survey by the research firm Tifa.

Only 31% of Kenyans, according to the survey that was taken between March 11 and March 19 of this year, support the Azimio protests.

64 per cent of survey participants said they did not support the rallies, while 4 per cent said they had no view.

Only 16 per cent of respondents thought it was possible that the protests may force President William Ruto out of his position.

The majority, standing at 72 per cent believe it is not possible for the rallies to lead to the removal of the Head of State from office.

12 per cent of those surveyed said they were unsure and had no idea whether the current government could be overthrown.

36 per cent of correspondents agreed that setting up an office for the opposition would strengthen it, whether or not the Azimio team accepted the position.

Further, 48 per cent held the opposing view, claiming that the move will strengthen the opposition, while 16 per cent were undecided, claiming that it will have no impact.

The findings of the report, however, have a margin error of +-12 per cent.

The research was conducted from a sample size of 2,065 respondents.

The respondents were engaged in face-to-face interviews at the household level from across the nine zones of Central Rift, Coast, Lower Eastern, Mt. Kenya, Nairobi, Northern, Nyanza, South Rift and Western.
