Nairobi, Kenya — In a momentous announcement that has already sparked political discussions across the country, Hon. Peter Kalerwa Salasya, the Member of Parliament for Mumias East Constituency, has officially declared his intention to vie for the presidency in the 2027 General Election. The declaration was made during a public address to the nation, where Salasya emphasized the urgent need for bold, transformative leadership to drive Kenya's industrial growth and economic empowerment.
In his statement, Salasya stated that his decision to run for the highest office in the land was a result of "deep reflection, wide consultations, and careful consideration of the state of our nation." He highlighted that Kenya is at a critical juncture and that the time has come for the country to shift its focus from exporting talent and labor abroad to building a self-sustaining economy through industrialization and innovation.
"We cannot continue exporting our labor and talents abroad while our industries collapse and our youth languish in unemployment. Kenya must manufacture, innovate, and industrialize to create sustainable jobs and unlock the full potential of our people," said Salasya.
The MP, who has garnered a reputation for his advocacy for the youth, women, and working-class Kenyans, also revealed that he will run under a new political movement that aims to provide a fresh alternative to the traditional political establishment. The name and leadership structure of the new party will be unveiled later this year.
"I am not running for president as an individual, but as the voice of millions of Kenyans who are yearning for a better, more inclusive future. This movement will embody the dreams and aspirations of a new Kenya—a Kenya where opportunity is not a privilege for the few, but for all of us," Salasya declared.
The announcement is expected to have a significant impact on the political landscape, especially as the 2027 election approaches. Salasya's call to action is directed at all Kenyans, with a particular focus on the youth, women, workers, entrepreneurs, and "the dreamers" who, according to him, will play a pivotal role in driving the nation toward a "prosperous, inclusive, and united Kenya."
In a rallying cry for national unity, Salasya ended his address by urging Kenyans to join him in building a future rooted in justice, equity, and opportunity for all.
"Together, we can and we shall build a prosperous, inclusive, and united Kenya," he concluded.
Salasya’s declaration is likely to reshape the political discourse in the lead-up to the 2027 elections, as many await further details on the new political movement he intends to spearhead. As he takes his first steps toward the presidency, the political arena will be closely watching how his vision for Kenya unfolds in the coming months.
God bless you all. God bless Kenya.
