Peter Salasya Re-Affirms His Polygamous Nature, States His Ideal Kind Of Partner(s)
Mumias East Member of Parliament Peter Salasya has reaffirmed his intentions to embrace a polygamous lifestyle, revealing that his search for a spouse has now extended beyond Kenyan borders to the island of Madagascar.
In a statement shared via Instagram on Tuesday, March 11, 2026, the outspoken legislator explained that his social circle is actively assisting him in his quest to find suitable partners.
Global Connections and Cultural Roots
Salasya disclosed that a friend from Madagascar has promised to facilitate a match with a bride from the island nation. The MP noted a cultural affinity with the region, pointing out that the Malagasy people share Bantu roots and speak a language he finds reminiscent of Swahili.
The lawmaker framed his marital ambitions as a return to his heritage, stating that polygamy is a natural inclination rooted in his identity as a man from the Wanga Kingdom. He expressed a desire to begin marrying as soon as he is ready to settle down, with a vision of eventually having up to three wives living harmoniously under one roof.
The Long Road to the Altar
Despite his political success and high public profile, Salasya has remained single, a status he attributes to past personal challenges. He has been candid about a significant relationship that collapsed following his unsuccessful first bid for parliament in 2017, an experience that he says shaped his current expectations for a life partner.
Since his election to Parliament in 2022, his search for a “prayerful and supportive” wife has been a recurring theme in his public life. His criteria for an ideal partner include r a prayerful spouse, someone comfortable with the demands of his career.
Seeking Mentorship
Salasya’s pursuit of a family has occasionally seen him seek high-level advice. He previously made headlines by publicly requesting Mama Ida Odinga’s assistance in identifying a suitable candidate for marriage. While he continues to navigate the complexities of modern dating and political life, the MP remains steadfast in his goal of building a large, multi-wife family in accordance with his cultural traditions.
