ODM has dismissed an Ipsos poll whose findings did not favour leader Raila Odinga saying the research process was crafted to blackmail him. An Ipsos poll conducted in December stated that 35 per cent of of respondents wanted Raila to quit politics. The findings released on Tuesday showed 61 per cent Kenyans do not want Raila’s name on the ballot for the presidential vote. Ipsos lead researcher Tom Wolf has defended the firm's methodology saying the poll was above reproach. She claimed Ipsos was being used to shape Kenyans' minds and prepare grounds for interfering with the total number of voters in elections.
