Tuesday, June 3, 2025 – Outspoken Homa Bay Town MP, Peter Kaluma, has expressed strong confidence that President William Ruto will easily secure re-election in the 2027 General Elections, even without the backing of Mt. Kenya, Kisii, or Ukambani regions.
Speaking to a local media outlet, Kaluma, a vocal supporter
of the alliance between ODM leader, Raila Odinga, and Ruto’s UDA, dismissed
claims that Ruto would be a one-term President.
He stated that with the consolidated support of the Luo,
Kalenjin, Maasai, Somali, and Coastal communities, Ruto’s path to re-election
was already secured.
“We have 4 million Luo voters, 3 million Kalenjins, 2
million Maasai, 3 million Somalis, and 2 million from the Coast. We’ll leave
Mt. Kenya, Kisii, and Ukambani for Gachagua, Kalonzo, and Matiang’i,” Kaluma
said.
Kaluma claimed Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka and former
Interior CS Fred Matiang’i - potential rivals to Ruto - could be swayed with
money.
“At the right time,
we’ll buy Matiang’i and Kalonzo’s support. Can they really reject Ksh 1 billion
each?”
His remarks have drawn sharp criticism online, with many
Kenyans accusing him of promoting tribal politics.
Young voters, in particular, have condemned the comments,
insisting future leadership must be based on merit, not ethnicity or handouts.
