Mumias East Member of Parliament Peter Salasya has urged Siaya Governor James Orengo to join the United Opposition and support a broader political coalition for the 2027 general election. Salasya emphasized the need to overcome internal divisions and focus on Kenyan interests in a statement on his X account. He described Orengo as a key figure in Kenya's political scene and appealed to him to make a significant political decision.
Salasya appealed to minority opposition leaders to prioritize the broader needs of Kenyans over their individual ambitions. He argued that leaders contributing to the opposition struggle should be granted meaningful roles in any government formed through a united front. Salasya condemned the violence that marred the Linda Mwananchi rally in Homa Bay, calling it "goonism" and accusing some politicians of using fear and intimidation to disrupt the event.
He denounced the celebration of the disruption by certain politicians and their supporters as an insult to the people of Homa Bay.
