The latest report by the Office of the Registrar of Political Parties (ORPP) has revealed that the Injection of National Justice, Economic and Civic Transformation (INJECT) Party, led by activist Morara Kebaso, is not among the registered political outfits in Kenya.
Morara in December 2024 publicly declared that his party had been fully registered and was ready to admit members.
Since its establishment, INJECT Party has positioned itself as a youth-driven alternative to the established political outfits.
“INJECT Party of Kenya will sweep Parliament, Senate, and all elective seats like a flash flood. I want to assure all Gen Zs who want to run for any political office in any election that the INJECT Party will not ask you for any bribe for a party ticket. Start preparing yourselves to run for all seats from MCA to President. This is your party,” he said at the time.
Morara Kebaso’s INJECT Party not in ORRP list of registered political parties
However, the ORPP’s official records show no such registration. According to the updated list, Kenya currently has 91 fully registered political parties as of March 2025, down from 92 recorded in February.
“Section 34 (e) of the Political Parties Act, Cap. 7d obliges the Office of the Registrar of Political Parties (ORPP) to ‘maintain a register of political parties and the symbols of political parties’. In line with this provision, as of March 2025, there are ninety-one (91) fully registered political parties in Kenya whose corporate particulars are as illustrated below,” the ORPP noted.

Morara had earlier in the month announced that young Kenyans aspiring to run for leadership positions under the INJECT Party will be given free party tickets.
He made the announcement on Wednesday, April 23, while also encouraging the younger generation to take up leadership positions.
“I promise free party tickets for all youths seeking to vie for positions of leadership across Kenya with the INJECT Party. Let us take over this country and show them how it should be done,” he stated.
In March 2025, Kebaso announced that INJECT had joined the opposition coalition, stating that the party’s mission is to offer solutions and uphold the principles of good governance.
He emphasised that the youth were no longer just spectators but “active participants who will soon take charge of the nation”.
“Gen Zs, we are the opposition now; in a short while, we will be the government. Let us walk into the room with confidence and change how things are done from the inside,” he stated.
Kebaso has, however, been vocal in rejecting alliances with influential politicians he deems corrupt, emphasising that the party is guided by values and integrity.
“Some people are saying that we should form a coalition with anyone who is influential, including corrupt individuals, for the sole purpose of defeating William Ruto. We strongly disagree. Let us take integrity to the ballot and allow Kenyans to decide if they want it or not,” he said.
New parties
According to ORPP, only two new political parties have been officially registered in the last three years (April 2022 to March 2025).

They include the We Alliance Party, whose registration certificate was issued in February 2025 and the Democracy for the Citizens Party, whose registration certificate was also issued in the same month.
ORPP had also confirmed in February that five political parties severed ties with the Azimio la Umoja Coalition between February 2023 and December 2024.
The Kenya Kwanza Alliance, on the other hand, consists of 18 parties, 11 of which were constituent members pursuant to a pre-election coalition agreement.
Additionally, the ORPP listed 47 political parties with no coalition affiliation and no representation in the National Assembly.
