Mumias East Member of Parliament Peter Salasya has publicly endorsed Kimilili MP Didmus Barasa for the upcoming Bungoma gubernatorial position. Speaking at a thanksgiving service for Barasa's PhD graduation from Murang’a University on August 29, 2026, Salasya praised Barasa's development work in schools, stating he has the capacity to serve as governor.
Despite being on the opposite political side, Salasya pledged his support for Barasa, who he believes has the best chance of becoming Bungoma's next governor in 2027. This endorsement comes amidst intense political rivalry between Barasa and Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna, both vying for the Bungoma gubernatorial seat.
