Morara Kebaso Dumps INJECT Party for Jubilee Borabu Bid

Activist Morara Kebaso dropped his own INJECT Party and signed up with Jubilee under Fred Matiang’i to chase the Borabu Member of Parliament seat in Nyamira County. He announced the switch today, citing deep voter loyalty to Jubilee across the Gusii region. The move shakes up local politics ahead of the 2027 polls as he shelves his party for a stronger shot at victory.
Morara Kebaso made the announcement just hours ago. He spoke plainly about the tough choice. Strong attachments in the area forced his hand, he explained. Voters cling tightly to Jubilee symbols there.
He plans to contest the Borabu seat. Nyamira County forms the battleground. Locals know him from past activism. Now he shifts gears toward parliament.
Why did Morara Kebaso leave his INJECT Party behind?
Morara Kebaso left INJECT because he sees stronger chances on a Jubilee ticket in the Gusii region, where voters stick firmly to the party headed by Fred Matiang’i.
“I am sorry, Sir,” Kebaso said as he apologised directly to Fred Matiang’i during the announcement. He expressed readiness to tap into the senior leader’s wisdom going forward. The activist turned aspirant promised to work hard as a team player. He looks ahead to becoming part of a bigger vision.
What made Morara Kebaso choose the Borabu MP race now?
Morara Kebaso chose the Borabu MP race now to align with local realities and contest on a Jubilee ticket that carries weight in Nyamira County and surrounding areas.
He addressed supporters at a gathering. Political realities in Nyamira County and the wider Gusii region influenced his decision; he told them straight. He will contest on a Jubilee ticket. The former INJECT leader put his party on the shelf for now.
This switch comes at a key moment. Jubilee builds momentum in the region with Matiang’i as a central figure. Party events in recent months drew crowds in Nyamira towns. Residents talk about fresh energy ahead of 2027. Kebaso brings youth appeal and activist credentials to the mix.
His background adds flavour to the story. Many remember his sharp critiques and tours that highlighted stalled projects across communities. He founded INJECT with big dreams for national change. Crowdfunding efforts and calls for civic awareness marked his early push. Yet local ground demands different tactics, he realised.
Supporters reacted fast. Some cheered the practical move. Others felt surprised after his strong push for a new party. Online voices split quickly. Comments poured in praising his flexibility. A few questioned the sudden shift.
Kebaso exchanged words at a recent funeral in Nyansiongo with the sitting MP. Tensions rose briefly there. Such encounters show the heat building in the Borabu constituency. He eyes the seat seriously. Victory would send him to parliament as a fresh voice tied to established structures.
Fred Matiang’i commands respect in these parts. His experience draws loyalty from many voters. Kebaso mentioned plans to learn from him. The alliance could boost turnout in 2027. Nyamira County saw strong performances for aligned candidates before. Three assembly seats flipped in past votes, yet the presidential pull remains powerful.
