Salasya: I do not subscribe to one term or two-term slogan
By Charles Ouma, February 3, 2026Mumias East Member of Parliament Peter Salasya has outlined his vision for Kenya while also advising the youth on the 2027 elections.
In a statement made on his X account on Tuesday, February 3, 2026, the MP stated that both one-term and two-term narratives have failed Kenyans, as they have not provided solutions to the challenges facing the country.
“Hunger has no term limit. Unemployment has no term limit. Pain has no term limit. Kenya does not need noise; Kenya needs solutions. The obsession with political survival instead of people’s survival is exactly what has brought us here,” Salsya wrote.
Salasya’s position on one-term vs two-term
The lawmaker confirmed that he does not subscribe to either of the two major political formations rooting for President William Ruto’s reelection or exit at the ballot while explaining his position.
“As Hon. Peter Kalerwa Salasya, I do not subscribe to slogans of one term or two terms. I do not worship political cycles I stand for the well-being of Kenyans. And the hard truth is this: both narratives are failing the Kenyan people,” Salasya added.
Salasya declared that citizens have a moral duty to question leadership when it stops working for the people.
Bold future
The legislator rallied the youth to stand up and use their numbers to tilt the scales during elections and set the country on a new path.
The MP who is serving his first term urged them to contest for elective positions and challenge the political elite on issue-based politics that holds the true promise of progress as opposed to the current rhetoric.
“This is the moment for the youth of Kenya to stand up and be counted. Not just on social media, but at the ballot. Contest. Vie. Lead. Protect our national heritage,” he asserted.
He conveyed his hope that the current political landscape will give way to a new one that is tribeless and based on issues.
“This country does not belong to political dynasties, tribal brokers, or recycled elites it belongs to the people, and especially to the young generation. We must build a tribeless, issue-based Kenya, united by justice, opportunity, and development, not fear, slogans, or ethnic arithmetic. The future will not be given. It must be taken lawfully, boldly, and responsibly,” Salasya concluded
