City lawyer Ahmednasir Abdullahi on Tuesday ran a Twitter poll to determine how President Uhuru Kenyatta and Cord leader Raila Odinga would fare if elections were held today.
His vote showed that Mr Odinga was leading hence eliciting mixed reactions from users.
Some termed the Twitter poll results as accurate while others trashed the polls as a manipulate exercise.

Sampling. I guess 6000 on Twitter is as good a representative sample as you’d get anywhere in KE is it not?— Mwinyi Gakuria (@gakuria) December 28, 2016

@geonal @ahmednasirlaw @KhaembaPedro I stuffed the ballots to show that this poll can be manipulated.

@ahmednasirlaw since @MutahiNgunyi‘s poll had different result of same margins for both candidates, clearly followers are region specific!
