Morara Kebaso Joins Uhuru’s Jubilee, Dumps ‘INJECT’ Movement.
Written by Edgar Ombati on July 1, 2026
Political activist and lawyer Morara Kebaso has made a major shift. He’s officially joined former President Uhuru Kenyatta’s Jubilee Party and says he’s walking away from the ‘INJECT’ movement he helped popularize.
The announcement came during a Jubilee NDC meeting in Nairobi over the weekend, where Morara was unveiled alongside other new faces in the party.
Morara rose to fame with ‘INJECT’ a youth-driven civic movement that focused on oversight, accountability and injecting sanity into politics. It was big on X/TikTok and among Gen Z.
By joining Jubilee, he’s now inside formal party structures. Critics say he’s “been captured.” His supporters say he’s “going where decisions are made.”
Uhuru’s Jubilee has been rebuilding after 2022 losses. Bringing in Morara gives the party youth credibility and a loud voice on governance, corruption, and constitutionalism the same issues ‘INJECT’ championed.
Morara says he’s “dumping” INJECT, but insists the ideals remain. “Movements don’t die, they evolve. Jubilee is now the vehicle,” he told journalists. Some INJECT members have already distanced themselves, saying the movement was never about one person.“INJECT was a season. A very important one. But if we want laws changed, budgets tracked, and youth represented, we must sit at the table. That table is Jubilee right now,” Morara stated.
He added that he will focus on party reforms, youth mobilization, and holding government accountable from within.In Kisii and Nyanza, boda boda and youth groups say they’ll be watching: “We followed Morara because he was different. If Jubilee changes him, we’ll know.”
This is one of the clearest examples of Kenya’s Gen Z activists moving from the streets/hashtags into party politics ahead of 2027. Whether it works for Morara, or changes Jubilee, will be the test.
