According to the information displayed on the billboard, Azimio presidential candidate Raila Odinga is leading in the various opinion polls.
The billboard also urges the people to vote for Azimio and it also highlights the results of the various opinion polls for each of the four Presidential candidates.
At the top, the billboard has been written "Raila leads at 52.3%, and at the bottom "Ruto trails at 45.3%." Roots party presidential candidate George Wajackoyah and Agano's David Mwaure fall in third and fourth place with 2 per cent and 0.3 per cent respectively.
Various presidential candidates together with running mates and all the results of their respective opinion polls have also been displayed.
It has not yet been established who sponsored the erecting of the billboard.
Kenyans have also come out to voice their concerns about the billboard. Some have criticized the Azimio party for desperately seeking new ways to solicit votes. Here are a few screenshots.
Deputy President William Ruto also commented today on the opinion polls that have been making major headlines in the news.
