Mumias East Member of Parliament (MP) Peter Salasya has announced a three-month national tour to popularise his 2027 general election presidential bid.

In a statement on Saturday, June 28, 2025, Salasya stated that he will tour every village, county, and street in the country beginning July 2, 2025.

“Round Two Kicks Off This Wednesday, July 2, 2025, 3 months nonstop! Beginning this Wednesday, we go full throttle across the nation for 90 days without pause. Peter Kalerwa Salasya the 6th will be felt in every county, every village, and every street,” he announced.

He has also criticised seasoned politicians for failing Kenyans once elected to lead the country, saying Kenya deserves a people-driven leader.

“We have given seasoned politicians every chance, and they have failed us repeatedly. They only speak the language of the people when they’re outside power. Once in, they forget the cries of the common mwananchi and become the very obstacles to progress,” he said.

“Kenya deserves honest, bold, people-driven leadership. Kenya deserves a fresh start. I, Peter Kalerwa Salasya the 6th, am the best option for president of this republic. This is the moment. This is the mission. This is the movement,” he added.

This comes after he conducted a nationwide tour in May 2025, after he announced that he will run for president in the 2027 general election.

Salasya’s presidential bid

Speaking on Tuesday, April 28, 2025, Salasya said he will launch his bid under a new political movement that is yet to be named but promises to break away from traditional politics driven by tribal alliances and money.

“Fellow Kenyans, I will contest the presidency in 2027 under a new movement—one built on the dreams of a fair, inclusive, and forward-looking Kenya,” Salasya said.

“This will not be a party of billionaires or tribal lords, but a movement of the people.”

The youthful MP is calling on Kenyans from all walks of life to join him in what he describes as a national rebirth.

“Let us make 2027 the year of Kenya’s rebirth,” he urged. “Let’s turn frustration into hope, despair into opportunity, and anger into action.”

If elected, Salasya pledged sweeping reforms, beginning with the healthcare system.

He promised to audit healthcare funding and ensure transparency and accountability, declaring that “health is not a luxury; it is a right.”
