Mumias East Member of Parliament (MP) Peter Salasya has called on whoever wins the Law Society of Kenya (LSK) elections to emulate the leadership style of LSK President Faith Odhiambo.
In a message shared on Thursday, February 19, 2026, Salasya urged the incoming LSK leadership to stand with Gen Z and Kenyans in general, especially during difficult times.

“All the best to the winner of LSK, be like Faith Odhiambo; she stood with Gen Z and Kenyans in general at their lowest moment,” Salasya urged.
Salasya on Faith’s leadership
Salasya praised Odhiambo for what he described as courageous leadership, noting that she did not shy away from speaking out when young people and ordinary citizens were facing challenges.
He further expressed goodwill towards the current LSK president.
“LSK president Faith Odhiambo may you never lack and let peace remain in your heart forever,” he added.
Faith Odhiambo’s tenure has been marked by strong advocacy on constitutional matters and members’ welfare, setting the tone for a defining election for the future of the LSK.
LSK elections
Lawyers across the country came out to vote for their new leaders, from grassroots leaders to their president.
More than 20,000 lawyers nationwide are taking part in the elections, which will determine the next leadership of the society as the current council’s term comes to an end.
The spotlight is on the race for the 52nd LSK president, where three prominent candidates, Senior Counsel Charles Kanjama, current Vice President Mwaura Kabata and senior lawyer Peter Wanyama, are contesting in a tightly fought and ideologically distinct contest.
This election comes at a significant political moment, as the country moves closer to the next General Elections, placing the legal body at the centre of key constitutional and governance conversations.
