Morara urges Kenyans to shun tribalism in 2027 polls
He noted that many citizens often support candidates based solely on ethnic affiliation, overlooking crucial factors such as integrity and leadership competence.
The Inclusive National Justice, Economic & Civic Transformation (INJECT) Party leader, Morara Kebaso, has called on young Kenyans to rise above tribal politics as the country approaches the 2027 general elections.
In an Easter Holiday message posted on his official social media platforms on Saturday, April 19, 2025, the vocal advocate for government accountability warned that tribalism continues to hinder the country's progress.
He noted that many citizens often support candidates based solely on ethnic affiliation, overlooking crucial factors such as integrity and leadership competence.
Morara emphasized that this pattern has repeatedly denied the nation the chance to elect capable leaders who can truly serve the people's interests.
Morara also revealed plans to spearhead the formation of a broad-based alliance comprising leaders of integrity, emphasizing that the focus will not be on tribal affiliations but on national transformation.
"For years, tribalism has robbed us of the chance to elect true leaders. Many voters prioritize ethnic identity over a candidate’s integrity, vision, and ability to lead," he stated.
“This time, we are building a grand alliance made up of leaders committed to change, not tribal kingpins, but visionary individuals ready to serve all Kenyans. These leaders will inspire a movement of citizens willing to vote beyond tribal lines, driven by shared ideals and a united vision for the country."
Morara emphasized that the leaders in his envisioned alliance will remain independent from wealthy individuals and foreign interests, asserting that their campaigns will be fully supported by ordinary Kenyans through grassroots fundraising.
"These leaders will not rely on funding from former or current looters seeking to return to power and maintain the status quo," said Morara.
"Instead, they will be backed by the people themselves, through open, transparent fundraising efforts. No billionaires, no hidden foreign agendas — just genuine support from Kenyans who believe in real change."
Morara also cautioned against backing opposition figures who promote tribal politics, criticizing them for lacking a clear, transformative agenda beyond the goal of unseating President William Ruto.
