Homa Bay Town Member of Parliament (MP) Peter Kaluma has added his voice to the upcoming 2027 general elections days after several Kenyans showed interest in vying for the presidential seat.

Taking to his official X account on Saturday, January 4, 2025, Kaluma said that Ruto will be re-elected in 2027 if former Prime Minister Raila Odinga who is currently eying for AUC chairperson does not vie for the presidency.

In addition to that, the vocal MP stated that Ruto will gain a majority of the votes from Raila’s stronghold if he does not vie in the 2027 General Election.

“I have been to Nyanza, Western, Rift Valley, North Eastern, Coast, Eastern, Central and back to Nairobi this Christmas season. I can now report that President @WilliamsRuto will be re-elected in 2027, except if Baba @RailaOdinga runs.

“Kenyans from Nyanza, Western, Rift Valley, North Eastern, Coast, Eastern and Nairobi who are 80% of Kenya’s population will vote for Ruto, if Raila does not run, to diminish tribal hegemony and entitlement by Kikuyus and to remind them that Kenya is far bigger than Mt. Kenya,” Kaluma said.

He went on to urge the Head of State to listen to Kenyans and that he should ensure the public service appointments reflect the face of Kenya and also equitable sharing of national resources.

“President Ruto must now listen. He must deliberately ensure equitable sharing of national resources and public service appointments across Kenya and secure affirmative action to regions which have been left out since independence,” he added.

The ODM legislature further disclosed that the leadership of all parliamentary committees will be reviewed to ensure all ethnic group is represented.

“This New Year, the leadership of all Committees in Parliament will also be reviewed to ensure it reflects the face of Kenya,” he disclosed.

Wiper Democratic Movement Party Leader Kalonzo Musyoka, Democratic Action Party of Kenya (DAP-K) party leader Eugene Wamalwa, Narc Kenya party leader Martha Karua, and political activist-cum-government accountability advocate Morara have also declared their interests in the 2027 presidency.
