Nairobi, Kenya – June 25, 2025: Outspoken activist and youth leader Morara Kebaso has announced his official exit from politics, a move that has stirred intense debate online. Once a presidential hopeful for 2027, Kebaso says leaving the political arena has given him a long-overdue sense of personal freedom and peace.
In a candid post on X, the young leader expressed how politics had drained him emotionally and mentally.
“Guys, I finally escaped politics. I can now live my life. I can do my biz, make my mulla, travel the world, see my friends, visit a bar and not worry about pictures. I’m free.”
“The Pressure Was Suffocating”
Kebaso revealed that the constant pressure to maintain a flawless public image had become unbearable.
“Nobody can judge me if I dance the wrong way or smile the wrong way. I don’t need security. I can drive myself and race like hell. I don’t have to show up for TV interviews and get misquoted.”
Denies Claims of Sh200M–Sh500M Payoff
His exit comes amid widespread speculation that he had received between Sh200 million and Sh500 million to support President William Ruto’s government. Kebaso firmly denied the rumors.
“This is very false. First, I have never supported the government,” he stated. “There is a video I did on how Kenyans should make better choices at the ballot… Some people twisted and edited it to make it sound like I was endorsing the government, which is simply not true.”
Kebaso accused government-aligned bloggers of spreading disinformation in an effort to discredit independent youth leadership.
“I have never thought of receiving any money to change my stand. Integrity in this country is treated with suspicion, and that is a very sad thing.”
What Happened to Vampire Diaries?
Kebaso also addressed his fan-favorite political commentary series, Vampire Diaries, which has been inactive for months. Contrary to online speculation, he says it wasn’t influenced by money or politics.
“The reason I haven’t been able to do Vampire Diaries is because it’s expensive to travel to all these places,” he explained.
Faith, Freedom & Healing
In a heartfelt close, Kebaso said he was ready to live his life authentically—free from judgment, fear, and the burden of public expectations.
“I can worship freely and preach the word of God without anyone thinking I’m pretending or chasing clout. I was almost going mad. I can live my life guys, finally. Can I hear an AMEN back there?”
