In a move that surprised many Kenyans, Inject Party leader Morara Kebaso has officially stepped down from active politics.
He made the announcement in a long, emotional post on his X (formerly Twitter) account, declaring that he is finally free to live his life.
“I Escaped Politics”
Kebaso, known for his fearless fight against corruption—especially through his viral video series “Vampire Diaries”—shared that he felt like he had escaped a cage.
“Guys, I finally escaped politics. I can now live my life,” he wrote, expressing relief and gratitude.
The Cost of Being in the Spotlight
Kebaso opened up about the emotional weight he carried as a young political leader. He described how public life had robbed him of peace, privacy, and a sense of normal living.

From being judged for how he danced, smiled, or spoke, to needing personal security everywhere he went, the pressure became overwhelming.
He explained that even being misunderstood or misquoted in TV interviews took a toll on his mental health.
“I can drive myself and race like hell,” he said, emphasizing how even the simplest joys, like driving freely, had become rare luxuries.
Battling Inner Struggles
Kebaso admitted that his journey in politics was filled with anger and emotional pain. At times, he felt like he was on the verge of losing control.
“So much that if I do not destroy something, it will definitely destroy me,” he confessed.
His words revealed the deep mental and emotional burden that came with leading a political movement and constantly being in the public eye.
Not a Goodbye to the Cause
Even though he is stepping down, Kebaso assured his supporters that he is not abandoning his true mission.
He promised to continue supporting young leaders in different ways—through guidance, advice, and financial contributions.
He also shared that assets donated by Kenyans to support his political work would be handed over to the current leaders of the Inject Party, so they can continue pushing the party’s dream of empowering the youth.
A Desire for Normal Life
Kebaso ended his message with a desire to live freely, worship without judgment, and even preach the word of God without being accused of chasing clout.
“I was almost going mad… I can live my life, finally. Can I hear an amen back there?” he concluded, with a heartfelt call for understanding and support.
