“I will continue to engage leaders from across the political, religious, and civic spaces in amplifying the voice of the youth in their quest for change.”

“My party will involve them (Gen Z) to a very large extent at the position of deputy party leader. I’m the party leader; my deputy will be a Gen Z so that we involve them,” Gachagua told the media
Kebaso’s actions mark a notable shift from his earlier stance. Three months ago, he publicly declared his independence from mainstream political parties, insisting on his commitment to charting a unique path with the Inject Party.
