Infrotrak Harris  polled Odinga at 47 per cent, up from 43 per cent in its June 30 poll.

With elections on August 8, the opinion poll puts  President Uhuru Kenyatta at 46 per cent, down from 48 per cent.

It is a large improvement in Raila Odinga’s fortunes especially in a relatively quiet campaign period.

Infotrak Harris proprietor Angela Ambitho  calls the race a statistical dead-heat.

She says  the dramatic gain resulted from  Odinga convincing undecided voters in his strongholds and making inroads into the North East and Rift Valley.
