Morara Kebaso urges youth to take up leadership roles in 2027 polls
By Emmanuel Rono, July 4, 2026Borabu MP aspirant Morara Kebaso has called on young Kenyans to actively seek leadership positions, saying the country’s future depends on a new generation willing to step forward and lead.
Speaking at a political rally in Ahero on Saturday, July 4, 2026, Kebaso said he is focused on inspiring other young people to pursue leadership ahead of the 2027 polls.
“Mimi ni Gen Z, naitwa Morara Kebaso. Mimi ni kijana wa miaka ishirini na tisa. Na kama mimi ninaweza kufika hapa, I want to be an encouragement to all the youth kwamba mlango iko wazi, mkuje and you take the leadership of our country,” he said.
The need to remain active in national matters
He urged the youth not to remain passive as the country faces various challenges.
“Mimi nataka kuambia vijana wote ambao wako hapa, don’t sit back mkiangalia nchi yenu ikipotea,” Kebaso said.
Rallying youths to join Jubilee party
Kebaso has also called on Kenyan youths to join the Jubilee Party, saying it offers the best platform for young people seeking meaningful political and economic change.
Speaking during the official opening of a Jubilee Party office in Kirinyaga County on Tuesday, June 30, 2026, the Borabu parliamentary hopeful threw his weight behind Fred Matiang’i’s bid for the presidency in the 2027 General Election, declaring that the former Interior Cabinet Secretary has his full support.
“I urge all young people in Kenya to join the Jubilee Party because if they want meaningful change, they can only find it in the Jubilee Party,” he stated.
Kebaso urged young Kenyans to rally behind Matiang’i, expressing confidence that he has the leadership qualities needed to steer the country in a new direction.
He maintained that the Jubilee Party remains the most suitable political vehicle for those who want to champion reforms and improve the lives of ordinary Kenyans.
The political activist also linked the growing trend of youths being hired to disrupt political meetings and demonstrations to the country’s high unemployment rate.
According to him, many young people are vulnerable to political manipulation because they lack stable sources of income.
