As my video, I can not see anything ambiguous there.
1. Make a selection around the central object. You might use the free select for this or because of the long-narrow-ish shape, a rectangular select to cover the area when the background is rotated. Although a scale up was mentioned in the original post.
2. Copy the contents of the selection. Edit -> Copy
3. Paste that as a new layer. Edit -> Paste As -> New Layer
4. Make the backgound layer active.
5. Use the Rotate Tool, click on the canvas to bring up the dialogue, enter 90 (or -90 for clockwise) and okay that.
6. The background layer is rotated but the extremities are outside the canvas size
7. Use Image -> Fit Canvas to layers
8. Back to the pasted layer and do whatever you want with that, depending on how the initial selection was made there might be a border visible. If there is try the clone tool with a fuzzy brush or maybe the smudge tool.
edit:
9. Then it looks like you want to rotate it back. Merge the layers Layers -> Merge Down
10. Rotate as before
11. Image to layer size as before.

There are easier ways than rotating the layer(s)
