MP Ali’s Hard Heal Path
Nyali Member of Parliament Mohammed Ali recently opened up about a serious health issue that kept him away from politics for nearly nine months.
On Saturday, August 2, he shared that he had been seriously ill with a condition that nearly took his life.
He explained that he needed to step back from his political responsibilities to focus on his recovery, and he’s happy to report that he’s on the mend and has even started walking again.
“I have been very quiet for the last nine months; others think I have run away from politics, and others think I am afraid to pick a side. When you are sick, other things can wait; my health comes first. I was very sick; I almost lost my life,” Ali said.
Ali shared that he had to go through three knee surgeries from December 2024 to May 2025—two of them took place in Kenya, and the last one was in India.
“I underwent three knee surgeries, two in Kenya and one in India. I was not in a position to say what Kenyans wanted to hear from me. I won’t have mixed politics and my health.”
“I have started walking. It will take me another four or six months to fully recover. Hopefully, by December, I will be able to run,” he added.
Ali’s health issues started in late 2024. On December 27, 2024, he revealed that he had injured his knee while participating in the EAC Inter-Parliamentary Games held in Mombasa.
“Following the knee injury I sustained during the EAC Inter-Parliamentary Games in Mombasa, I am pleased to share that I have had a successful knee surgery.”
“I am, however, informed by my doctor that my mobility will be limited for at least three months to allow for full recovery,” Ali said.
He shared that he would be taking a break from public appearances for a while, explaining that he needed some time to focus on his recovery.
“I will therefore be suspending all political engagements and activities during this period, but wish to assure all Nyali constituents that office operations will run as usual. Please keep me in your prayers as I recuperate, and I hope to bounce back even stronger. Mungu wa kwetu sote,” he said at the time.
