The conclusions that can be drawn from this research include:
i) Party was a great determinant factor in the choice of the preferred candidate. Hon. Raila was the most preferred candidate because of his affiliation to the Orange Democratic Movement(ODM), the most popular party in the country.
ii) Ethnicity must have been a fact in people’s choice. Those from the minority tribes received less votes.
