According to the poll, UDA enjoys an overall popularity rating of 22 percent giving President William Ruto's ruling party a slim one point advantage over ODM, which follows closely with 21 percent.
The narrow gap suggests that the country's political contest remains highly competitive as parties intensify efforts to win public support.
The survey also places the Democracy for Citizens Party in third position with 9 percent, indicating growing recognition for the relatively new political outfit.
Jubilee Party ranks fourth with 6 percent while the Wiper Democratic Front secures 5 percent, maintaining its presence among Kenya's major political parties.
Perhaps the most striking finding from the survey is that 29 percent of respondents said they have no political party preference.
This means nearly three in every ten Kenyans are not currently aligned with any political party creating a significant pool of voters who could influence future elections depending on how political parties engage them.
Additionally, 7 percent of those surveyed declined to disclose their political preference while 2 percent supported other smaller political parties.
These figures highlight the fluid nature of Kenya's political environment where many voters remain open to persuasion as the next election draws closer.
The survey comes at a time when political leaders are stepping up grassroots campaigns, strengthening alliances and unveiling development agendas aimed at winning public confidence.
Both the ruling coalition and opposition parties are expected to intensify their outreach efforts in the coming months as they seek to attract undecided voters and consolidate their support bases.
Political analysts say the close competition between UDA and ODM reflects a deeply contested political space where policy delivery, economic performance and leadership credibility will likely play a major role in shaping voter decisions.
Issues such as the cost of living, employment opportunities, healthcare, education and corruption are expected to remain central to public debate.
The strong showing by voters with no party preference also suggests that many Kenyans are evaluating political leaders based on performance rather than long standing party loyalty.
This could make future campaigns more issue driven as parties compete to win over independent minded voters.
While opinion polls provide an important snapshot of public sentiment, political observers caution that voter preferences can change over time.
