Mumias East MP Peter Salasya has recounted how he was heartbroken in 2017 after his girlfriends left him after he lost the Mumias East parliamentary race.
In an interview with Nairobi News, the 32 year old first time MP said he in 2017 failed miserably after getting only 254 votes.
He was dealt another blow after his girlfriend left him for another man.
“I loved her so much but when I went to get her back from the man’s house she asked me to leave and go play with my age mates as I could sustain her lifestyle,” Salasya recounted.
The lawmaker who has been single since then stated that his focus on finding another partner has been shifted and that he has no plans to date anytime soon.

Salasya stated that his main priority now is to represent his constituents.
His agenda is to ensure equitable bursary allocation to all needy students in his constituency, raising education standards, empowering youth and women, and reviving the Mumias Sugar Company.
