  "summary": "Homa Bay Town MP Peter Kaluma has expressed opposition to Siaya Governor James Orengo's presidential bid. According to The Standard Kenya, Kaluma believes Orengo's bid is aimed at spoiling President William Ruto's votes in the Nyanza region.\n\nOrengo's presidential bid has faced challenges, including an incident where his convoy was attacked in Awendo, with claims that the vehicle was set ablaze and sprayed with live bullets. The incident occurred after a rally in Migori was disrupted by tear gas.\n\nThe attack on Orengo's convoy has raised concerns about the government's ability to prevent organised violence at opposition rallies.",
